Teej celebration is seen with much show by ladies in North Indian states, particularly in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. Three popular Teej(s) which are praised by ladies amid Sawan and Bhadrapada months are -

Hariyali Teej

Kajari Teej

Hartalika Teej

Other Teej celebrations like Akha Teej which is otherwise called Akshaya Tritiya and Gangaur Tritiyaare not part of above three Teej(s).

Next Teej after Hariyali Teej which comes following fifteen days of Hariyali Teej is known as Kajari Teej. Normally, Kajari Teej comes three days after Raksha Bandhan and five days before Krishna Janmashtami. As indicated by North Indian logbook it falls amid Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month and as indicated by South Indian timetable it falls amid Krishna Paksha of Shravana month. However in both date-books Kajari Teej falls around the same time.

Kajari Teej is otherwise called Badi Teej instead of Chhoti Teej which is otherwise called Hariyali Teej. Kajari Teej is likewise spelled as Kajali Teej. In a few locales Kajari Teej is known as Satudi Teej.
