Vijayalakshmi Shekhawat, the founder of Shaurya Seva Sangathan, stated that about 45 girls from various schools in Jaipur will give a spectacular sword-fighting performance.
These girls will perform sword-fighting feats dressed as the warrior queen Rani Lakshmibai, symbolizing women's power. Participants including Dimple Rathore, Khushi Naruka, Divyanshi Shekhawat, and Yachika Tanwar will be part of this performance.
The biggest and most awaited attraction of the festival will be the royal procession of Teej Mata on August 15. This procession will pass through the main routes of the city.
This grand royal procession will begin at 5:35 PM from Tripolia Gate. Around 175 folk artists will participate, presenting a grand spectacle of Rajasthan's folk splendor, traditions, and cultural heritage.
