Tejaji Temple
About Tejaji Temple
The temple observes several important festivals when special pujas are conducted and the shrine is elaborately decorated. Vasant Panchami, celebrated on 23 January, marks the onset of spring and is observed with Saraswati puja. Karwa Chauth, falling on 29 October, is observed with fasting practices traditionally undertaken for a spouse's wellbeing. Ganesh Chaturthi, on 14 September, is also celebrated at the temple as part of the broader 10-day Ganpati festival.
These festival occasions draw larger numbers of devotees and create heightened spiritual atmospheres within the shrine.

It is advisable to confirm festival dates and specific puja schedules with the temple office before travelling, as timings may vary.
