Parvati waited for her Shiv with unwavering faith — may your patience be rewarded just the same this...

झूला झूले सखियों संग, गीत गाएं मल्हार के।

May your Teej be as colorful as the bangles on your wrist and as sweet as the songs you sing under the swing.

Not every festival asks for patience and prayer in equal measure — Teej does, and gives back tenfold.

इस तीज पर हर सुहागिन की मांग सिंदूर से और दिल खुशियों से भरा रहे।
