हरियाली तीज़ (Haryali Teej) is celebrated on the third day of the bright half of the North Indian Lunar month of Shraavana. As Shraavana (or Saawan) month falls during monsoon or rainy season when the surroundings become green, the Shraavana Teej is also called Hariyali Teej (Greenery Teej). A fast is kept and the focus is the moon. The Hariyali Teej festival is also celebrated to remember the reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the day when Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife. Goddess Parvati fasted and was austere for many years and was accepted by Lord Shiva as his wife in her 108 birth. Goddess Parvati is also known as Teej Mata. #TeejMata #Gods #Goddess #GodsOfIndia #Parvati #ConsortOfShiva #Gauri #Festivals #FestivalsOfIndia #WalledCityOfJaipur #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries

The word Meenakshi (eyes shaped like a fish, i.e., almond eyes) is derived from the Sanskrit word meen (fish) and the Sanskrit word akshi, or akshayam (eyes). In chaste Tamil, devoid of Sanskrit influence, her name is Angayarkanni, from the Tamil words angayar (of fish) and kann (eyes). Since the Ancient Tamil Kingdom of Pandya emblem was a fish and their capital was the city of Madurai, the goddess of Madurai became known as Meenakshi. A version of a Pattachitra, (a local art form from Orissa and prevails in West Bengal too.) I did of Minakshi, goddess Parvati. #FolkArt #Art #PencilColoursOnPaper #Minakshi #GoddessParvati #Parvati #Beaut #Red #GodsOfIndia #Kolkata #KolkataDiaries #KolkataJournal #Bengal #WestBengal #India #IncredibleIndia #Art #MyArt #Artwork #Folk #Stylised #ConsortOfShiva
