How to Get Ready for Teej Festival
It was a beautiful monsoon morning in July. The sky was wrapped in grey clouds, the smell of wet earth filled the air, and a cool breeze flowed through my window carrying whispers of celebration. Teej was just a few days away, and my kitty party group had something exciting planned — a festive Teej theme kitty party, complete with ethnic outfits, mehndi, music, and joyful memories.
Teej has always been close to my heart. It’s not just a festival; it’s a celebration of womanhood, tradition, and the bonds we share as friends, daughters, wives, and mothers. As I sat with my morning tea, I found myself thinking about how to get ready for Teej — not just what to wear, but how to truly feel the spirit of the day.
And that’s where this story begins — my little journey of getting ready for Teej, not just from the outside, but from the heart.
🌸 Step 1: Picking the Right Outfit
I walked into the venue, and the sound of dhol and laughter made me smile right away. It felt like the perfect day to celebrate Teej!
I wore a bright yellow blouse with shiny silver work and a beautiful orange-pink saree. The colors were full of life and looked perfect for the occasion. My red and golden bangles made a lovely sound as I moved, and I had added fresh flowers in my hair to give a traditional touch. I also wore a pretty necklace that completed the look. As I danced with my friends, I felt happy, confident, and full of festive energy.
🌿 Step 2: Mehndi – My Teej Tradition
Teej and mehndi go hand in hand. The scent, the designs, the deep maroon stain—they bring out the joy and excitement of the festival.
That evening, I cleared my table, lit a small diya, and sat down with my Neeta Natural Henna Mehandi Cone for Hand. I had read amazing reviews about it, and I must say, the experience was just as promised.
The cone glided smoothly, and the henna was fresh and fragrant. I made simple floral designs on my palms and a small peacock near my wrist. By morning, the color had darkened beautifully—just the way I had hoped.
I even packed 2 extra cones for the kitty party, thinking some of my friends might want a last-minute design. And guess what? It turned into an impromptu mehndi session at the party!

💫 Step 3: Jewelry – The Final Touch
The next day, I took out my favorite accessories. I wore a beautiful big necklace with shining stones and matching earrings that added charm to my look. On my forehead, I placed a simple red bindi—it may be small, but it always makes me feel complete on festive days.
I tied my hair neatly at the back and decorated it with fresh red and yellow flowers. They not only looked beautiful but also smelled amazing. These small touches made me feel truly festive and full of joy. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled—it wasn’t just about looking good, it was about feeling happy and confident from the inside
My daughter walked in just then and said, “Maa, you look like you came straight out of a Teej folk song!” That compliment made my entire morning
💄 Step 4: Subtle, Glowing Makeup
Teej is not about heavy makeup—it’s about radiance. I used a light BB cream, kajal, eyeliner, a rose pink lipstick, and a touch of highlighter on my cheeks.
My skin felt fresh, my heart felt full, and I was ready—not just for the kitty party, but to celebrate me.
🎉 The Kitty Party – Full of Color & Connection
The venue was decorated with marigold flowers, hanging dupattas, and a swing (jhoola) covered in fabric and flowers. Everyone looked stunning. Some wore lehengas, others went for salwar suits, but what united us was the spirit of sisterhood.
We played Teej-themed games, danced to folk music, and shared snacks like ghewar, kachori, and aam panna. And yes, the mehndi cones I brought? Huge hit! A few ladies had forgotten theirs, and the Neeta Natural Henna Mehandi Cone came to the rescue.
They were surprised at how easy it was to use and how rich the color turned out. We even took turns decorating each other’s hands while giggling like college girls. That’s the charm of festivals—they take you back in time.
🎁 The Sweetest Return Gift
As a parting gift, I gave each guest a small decorated pouch containing a Neeta Mehandi cone, a pair of glass bangles, and a tiny mirror. Simple, meaningful, and absolutely loved by everyone.
It wasn’t expensive, but it felt personal—and that’s what makes gifts memorable.
💬 A Moment of Reflection
That night, I sat down with tired feet but a happy heart. Getting ready for Teej had been more than makeup or clothes—it was about slowing down, cherishing traditions, and celebrating the women in my life.
And yes, having the right products helped. I wholeheartedly recommend the Neeta Natural Henna Mehandi Cone for Hand for any festive occasion. It added a touch of tradition, a spark of beauty, and a lot of fun to my Teej preparations.
