Teej Mata procession a glorious show of tradition and devotion
1 2 Jaipur: Jaipur transformed into a vibrant canvas of devotion, tradition, and royal grandeur as the city hosted the renowned Teej Mata procession Sunday. Beginning from Zanani Deodi of the City Palace, the procession set out with ceremonial pomp after traditional prayers. At Tripolia Gate, Padmanabh Singh, a member of the erstwhile royal family, performed the aarti of Teej Mata, while drones showered flower petals over the crowd. The procession passed through Tripolia Bazaar, Chhoti Chaupar, and Gangauri Bazaar before concluding at Chaugan Stadium. For the first time, a maha aarti was performed at Chhoti Chaupar. The event saw the presence of Governor Haribahu Bagade, Uttarakhand's tourism minister Satpal Maharaj, Jaipur MP Manju Sharma, MLAs Gopal Sharma and Balmukundacharya, and both city mayors, Soumya Gurjar and Kusum Yadav, along with other dignitaries. The royal cavalcade included elephants, camels, horses, ox-carts, traditional bands with shehnais and nagaadas, and a strong, striking presence of guards carrying spears and panchranga flags, echoing Rajasthan's royal legacy. Leading the parade was the iconic 'Gama Pehelwan', mounted on a decorated elephant, carrying the ceremonial flag. Adding to the cultural vibrancy were folk dancers performing the famous Chang Dhap of Shekhawati, Mayur Nritya from Braj, and traditional kathputli puppetry. 'Bahrupiyas', dressed as Ravan, Narad, and djinn amused the crowds, especially children. Tourists from across India and abroad thronged to witness the spectacle.
