Another royal row is in the making between the government of Rajasthan and the former royal family of Jaipur over traditional Teej celebrations in Jaipur.
If there is no resolution, from next year there may just be an end to Jaipurs famous royal Teej, where the idol of goddess Parwati is taken out in a grand procession through the city.
Before the start of the procession the idol of the goddess is traditionally worshipped at the City Palace even today by the former royal family of Jaipur in the womens quarters or the zenanna.
But with the government of Rajasthan now all set to acquire the zenanna, the royal family is upset and says if the government acquires their property they will not take out the Teej procession from next year, something that could bring to an end Jaipurs famous Royal Teej.
