On this sacred festival of Teej, I extend my heartfelt wishes to the people of Sikkim. Teej holds a special place in our traditions — a celebration of devotion, faith, and togetherness. It is a reminder of the strength, sacrifice, and love that our chelis embody within our families and communities.
The festival is associated with the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, symbolizing unwavering devotion and harmony. In Sikkim, where our society is built on the foundation of diversity and shared heritage, Teej reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural roots while upholding the values of love, unity, and resilience.
As we gather with our families and friends on this auspicious day, may we take a moment to honor the contributions of women in shaping our homes, our communities, and our state.
May this Teej bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to every household in Sikkim.
Wishing the people of Sikkim a very Happy Teej!
