             This 
              is the first effort done by any private company to promote tourism 
              as well as technology in Rajasthan which already recieved wide appreciation 
              from all over the world. Our team of cameraman, photographers and 
              AUDIO MAN tried their level best to cover the whole event as comprehensive 
              as possible but still we also feel that there is still some scope 
              of improvements in various dimensions. We hope your sincere feedback 
              will help us improving the things at our end. 
               
              We welcome you on the occasion of Teej Festival here from Tripolia 
              gate. This festival has its own importance specially in rural areas. 
              Thousands and thousands of Women's, children's are there with elders 
              who filled the whole environment with color and excitement. Everybody 
              here is trying to catch hold of the glimpse of whole procession. 
             Procession 
              has begun now. Dancers are performing for Ghair dance dressed splendidly 
              and using their experience and excellence to perform better then 
              ever. Combination of Music and Dance is enchanting. Everybody with 
              their families seems to be excited. 
             
              Now one after another dancers and "sawaries" are coming 
              out of the Tripolia gate famous for its artistic doors and appearance. 
              Specially decorated "Band Bazza" with a team of around 
              2 dozen performers well organized by the MASTER is performing defiantly 
              differently from what Bands performs in INDIAN SHAADI'S. Well dressed 
              and declined performers add feather to their CAP. 
            Almost 
              100 photographers and video shooters from different International 
              as well as National channels are trying to catch every moment in 
              their electronic Gadgets. Hundreds of people are joining the mob 
              every minute to make us feel the abundant "SHRADHA" in 
              their heart. 
            After 
              Band Bazza, well decorated horses with their riders, well dresses 
              and equipped with old age weapons are following the march. Bullock 
              carts with silk decorated howdahs, Elephants (need not to mention 
              - well organized and decorated) under supreme control of their MAHAWAT'S 
              seems to an obedient school boy. Cute boy. 
            After 
              a long wait and patience we got an glimpse of Teej Mata Palki (Palki 
              is an term used to define the carriage which is controlled by 2/4/8 
              people holding it through wooden bars extended on both the sides 
              - please refer photo gallery for further information and clearance). 
              Oh! In order to get a FIRST glimpse of Mata Ki Sawari everybody 
              is trying to overrule the rules set by Police. Anyway it seems to 
              be under control now. 
            Specially 
              decorated Teej Mata with a transparent cloth (chunri) covering the 
              forehead and a small part of the face is coming out of the the gate. 
              There is very special reason for covering the face guess? Very less 
              people know this minor difference between Teej Festival and Ghangaur 
              festival. please check in our other sections for more information. 
            The 
              whole procession includes around 10 elephants, 16-17 well decorated 
              horses, at least 8 groups of performers including dancers, musicians, 
              performers and individuals with special abilities, 6 bullock carts, 
              4 PALKI''S, around one dozen camels. This really makes it more colourful, 
              entertaining, exciting and neverthless BHAKTIMAI". 
            The 
              most revered Diety amoung the other Gods finally leads the path 
              , which she's is done so many a times, round the chhoti chopar and 
              is following through Gangori Baazar.Its really surprising to see 
              so many people taking blessings, over roofs , from windows, and 
              everywhere.  
            Finally 
              the Deity has reached the destination at Tal-Katora where she has 
              been laid down on a white sheet and the Pandit who has been feeding 
              Her for so many years is reciting Puja and will now make Her sip 
              water to quench her thirst and make Her feel relaxed. We believe 
              that lot of people do not know why Teej Mata Stays here for quite 
              sometime and then come back to "JANANI DYODHI" at City 
              Palace. Here it is ? 
               
              According to rituals and past culture, City Palace's Janani Dyodhi 
              is her home and Talkatora is her In-Laws place. People (Parenets 
              and Relatives) come here to leave her at her In-laws house. They 
              rest here for a while and again come back. Since in sawan Bhado 
              married girls go to their parents house to celebrate and enjoy this 
              beautiful season. In this period only farmers plough the fields 
              and saw the crop and pray to god for favourable rainy season. 
            At 
              7.25 P.M. Pooja Archana starts with Bhajan's and Shlokes and Mataji 
              take a sip of water and rests for couple of moments. Thereafter 
              Mr 
              Rambabu put a cloth on Mata (Mr Rambabu, who and his encentors are 
              decorating Teej Mata from the last 75 years really feels excited 
              that for the first time this whole event including Pooja Archana 
              will get acclamation world over). he told us, Whenever Daity Teej 
              Mata goes out of the palace She is been sworn with around 20KG gold 
              and silver ornaments, well decorated cloths and goes in Palki. 
            From 
              here the Deity will be taken back to Her resting place , where She 
              will be laid down for the comming year. 
            Our 
              correspondent Mr. Allwin Desssa reports from there at 7.47 P.M. 
              that now Palki has started it way back towards palace. The whole 
              environment is filled with BHAKTI and thousands of followers still 
              accompanying her peacefully. 
            Ladies 
              and Gentlemen I hope we were able to satisfy all your wishes by 
              following the Deity wherever she went and the blessings be upon 
              you and your family . I now take leave to be back with you for the 
              next festival online ( please check fairs and festival list for 
              the dates)
