Teej in Delhi: Where Tradition Meets a Whole Lot of Fun
Okay, let’s talk about Teej in Delhi this year—because honestly, it’s shaping up to be one of those events you’ll kick yourself for missing. You know how Delhi does festivals? Loud, colorful, and with way too much good food? Yeah, Teej 2024 is all that and then some.
When and Where?
So here’s the deal—it all starts July 26th and runs for three days straight. Now, the venue isn’t 100% confirmed yet (typical Delhi, right?), but if last year was anything to go by, expect it at Dilli Haat or maybe Talkatora Stadium. Pro tip: keep an eye on their Instagram. Those guys post updates faster than you can say “ghewar.”
Night One: Stars, Songs, and Maybe Some Magic
First night’s the big one. They’re bringing out the big guns—think folk singers who’ll give you chills, Bollywood playback artists, the works. And between you and me? The magic shows are weirdly awesome. Saw one last year where this guy made a whole peacock appear out of nowhere. No idea how he did it.
The Green Fashion Thing (Which is Actually Cool)
Here’s what’s new—they’re doing this “Green Fashion Walk.” Not just models strutting in pretty clothes, but clothes made from recycled saris and organic cotton. Some designer last year made a lehenga out of old wedding invitations. Mind blown.
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching (They Probably Are)
The folk dances? Absolute fire. Groups from Rajasthan do this thing where they balance like seven pots on their heads while dancing. How?! No clue. But you can try learning some steps at the workshops—just don’t blame me if you trip over your own feet.
Eat. Shop. Repeat.
Let’s be real—you’re here for the food. Ghewar so sweet it’ll make your teeth ache (worth it), kachoris that crunch perfectly, and malpua that’s basically heaven on a plate. And the shopping? Handmade juttis, silver jewelry that won’t turn your skin green—your wallet’s gonna hate you.
Getting There Without Losing Your Mind
Take the Metro. Seriously. Parking’s a nightmare, and auto-wallahs see festivals as “charge triple” opportunities. Go around 4 PM—beats the crowds and the worst of the heat. Oh, and it’s probably free unless you want VIP seats to see the celebs up close.
Look, Delhi does hundreds of festivals, but Teej? It’s special. The colors, the music, that feeling in the air—it’s like the whole city remembers how to have fun. So grab your friends, wear something comfortable (you’ll be on your feet), and dive in. Just maybe go easy on the ghewar unless you want a sugar coma.
