TEEYAN is about happiness, prosperity and well-being. Teeyan (Punjabi: ਤੀਆਂ) is the women's dance festival of the Punjab region.
It is very pious and ominous festival for Indian Women where newly married and young unmarried women gather together to celebrate the beginning of rainy season. Giddha can be seen at its best during the celebrations. Celebrated in the month of Sawan when the days of summer have grown longer and hotter, the dancing usually takes place on the bank of some river or pond under big shady trees. Swings
are thrown over the branches and the singing, swinging and dancing starts to the melodies that fill the air. Keeping in mind the same old tradition of Teej or Teeyan, Watno Dur TV and Radio makes a humble effort each year to celebrate this women festival of happiness. It has been organized from last ten years by Watno Dur in Powerade Centre in Brampton. Approximately, 7000 Ladies of every age group gather there to celebrate Teeyan and dance in joy.
