Teeyan festival in Punjab is celebrated in the month of Shravan during the rainy season. The dance usually takes place, when the women gather along the bank of any river or pond under big shady trees. Swings are thrown over the branches, where the singing, swinging and dancing of the women folk starts.

On this day, when the married daughters come to their parent`s house their brothers fix the swings for them. As they swing they share their anxieties with each other reflecting through lyrics of songs. Dressed in their best and wearing ornaments, girls gather during these festivals like the fairies. The festival continues till the 3rd Lunar day in the month to full moon and there is a gala function celebrated on the concluding day.
