Observers from outside can see a giant ladybird around the temple of Pashupatinath: it is a tide made of women all in red, with their beautiful black heads.
The significance of such a festival is for women to ask for a special blessing by Parvati and her husband Lord Shiva, to have a good husband and to pray for his longevity and prosperity. Lord Shiva and Godess Parvati are worshiped on this day for marital harmony.
Married women fast, dance and pray for marital life and unmarried women fast, dance and pray to get a groom of choice.
A bunch of western ladies gathered the other night and called the party Teej and they dressed in red like the Nepali women do, but they ate and drank...like the Westerns do.
