More than 60 Nepalese Tamworthians will mark Teej, a colourful and superstitious festival dedicated to marital harmony, longevity and success.

Tamworth man Gopal Niraula said the event is steeped in tradition, from head to toe, particularly for women.
He said it was a significant day in Hindu culture which honours the relationship of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva and where followers hope for long and successful marriages.
The festivities will begin in the afternoon.
