Kajari Teej 2026: The festival of Kajari Teej is celebrated annually during the month of Bhadrapada. This festival holds special significance for married women. On this day, women observe a fast to ensure happiness, peace, love, and harmony in their marital lives. They also observe all the rituals associated with the festival while praying for their husbands' longevity. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati on Kajari Teej fosters happiness in married life.
