Photograph of the crowd at a Teeyan (Teej) festival celebration hosted by the India Mahila Association[?] on August 2, 1998[?]. The event was held in Cloverdale, in Surrey, British Columbia (B.C.). A banner advertising another event called "Charanjit Ahuja Night" organized by Music Waves Productions Ltd., is displayed alongside a production truck of Dream Productions and Creations.
Teeyan, also known as Teej, is a festival observed primarily by women in the northern regions of India, including Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh. It takes place annually during the months of July or August, marking the beginning of the monsoon season. The festival is associated with religious observance and social gathering, particularly among newly married and unmarried women. Participants celebrate by adorning themselves in traditional attire and taking part in rituals dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The festival involves prayers for the well-being and longevity of husbands or future spouses and includes regional customs that vary by state.
The India Mahila Association (IMA) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization established in 1973 to support and empower women of South Asian descent in Canada. Open to women of all backgrounds, IMA focuses on advocacy, education, and community engagement while addressing issues such as gender equality, violence, and discrimination. The organization operates without external funding and has created an endowment fund with the Vancouver Foundation to sustain its mission. For over 50 years, IMA has provided support, resources, and a platform for women to connect and uplift one another.
