Teeyan
Teeyan is the women's dance festival of the Punjab and is celebrated
in the month of Sawan. Married daughters come to their parent's
house and their young brothers fix the swings for them. Hundereds
married and unmarried girls get together to the common place near
the bank of some river or pond under big shady trees. Swings are
thrown over the branches, swinging, singing, and dancing starts.
At home, girls prepare Kheer Poorae, Gulgale, Karah and Pakoras
in this month.
In dance, some popular songs are:
Teri Do Takyan Di Nokri
Mera Lakhan Da Sawan Jaye.
Chhuti Lai Ke Aja chann Ve"
" Sase Teri Mahen Marh Jaye,
Mere Veer Nu Sukhi Khand Payee
Akh Mere Yaar Di Dukhe,
Lali Merian Akhan De Wich Aiyee.
Teri Do Takyan Di Nokri
Mera Lakhan Da Sawan Jaye.
Chhuti Lai Ke Aja chann Ve"
"Sawan Da Mahina Din Giddha De Sabhe Sahalyan
Aiyan Nachan Kundan, Jhutan Pingan Piyan Vadiyan Gharan Diya Jaiyan
Bhij Gai Rooh Mitra Sham Ghatan Chad Aiyan".
