Blooms and Bliss: Teej Revelry in full swing at PCM SD College for Women

Jalandhar, 2023: The Cultural Enlightenment Cell in collaboration with Department of Punjabi of PCM S.D. College for Women, Jalandhar celebrated 'Teej' in all its exuberance and glory. Chander Mohini Markanda, member of the managing committee was the chief guest of the day. 

Principal Prof.(Dr.) Pooja Prashar accorded a formal welcome to the chief guest. The event began with the lighting of ‘Jaago diyas’. Students and staff members took part in all merriment. Students exhibited their intrinsic talents through folk dance and folk songs. As the echoes of laughter, dance and celebration resonated through the campus, the Teej festivities encapsulated the essence of cultural heritage and community bonding. These traditions, woven with threads of unity and joy, served as a reminder of the richness of our heritage and the strength of our collective spirit. Nail Art, Mehndi and bangle stalls were put up.

A swing was laid down in the college premises to enliven the ancient heritage of this festival which is observed every year in the monsoons as a cheery reminiscence to the Punjabi culture and its ambience by the newly-wedded women who visit their parents' houses and immerse themselves in festive mirth. 

On the occasion, RJ ACP Sandy from 91.9 FM Radio City visited the campus. He asked questions from the students about the relevance of ‘Teej’. It is worth mentioning that the festival is also celebrated in other parts of the country wherein it transcends religious boundaries. 
President Naresh Budhia, Senior Vice President Vinod Dada, other members of the managing committee and reverent Principal Prof.(Dr.) Pooja Prashar commended the endeavours of the department in perpetuating the legacy of the yearly fiesta across generations.
