On the day of Sharad Purnima, the marriage of Tesu and Jhenji takes place in the Braj region. After this marriage, the preparatory work of marriage festivities in Hindus begins. According to a boon, first Tesu will get married, then only after that one can start the process of marriage festivities.
This tradition of Tesu Jhenji is especially famous in Braj, Bundelkhand and Gwalior. In urban areas, it is becoming almost extinct. The tradition of visiting Tesu Jhenji in all the houses is said to be brought by feeding Tesu. It starts from the day of Dussehra with Ravana Dahan.
A study of Tesu's and Jhenji's songs appears to carry a systematic and definite subject matter, while Tesu's songs appear to be mere rhymes. Somewhere Jhenji is also called Sanjhi.
Tesu Jhenjie Format:
Usually, Tesu is made from three straight kinds of wood. A place to keep the lamp is made in the middle and from there Tesu is caught.
Jhenji is like a circular pitcher made of raw clay, with a lamp placed inside. Colorful vents are made in the jhenji for abundant air to keep the lamp burning continuously.
