Nepali women in South Western Sydney have gathered to celebrate Teej, one of Nepal’s major cultural festivals.
Teej is traditionally celebrated with songs, dance, rituals and cultural traditions. However, some devotees say there has been less activity at the Minto Temple in South Sydney this year compared with previous Teej celebrations.
While preparations and events traditionally begin about a month in advance, some celebrations this year have focused less on festivities and more on raising funds and support for flood victims in Nepal. Here, we hear from members of the Nepali-speaking community who gathered at the Mukti Gupteshwar Temple.
