Teej
Tīja, , literally meaning "third"—denoting the third day after the new moon when the monsoon begins per the Hindu calendar—is a collective term for three Hindu festivals primarily dedicated to the mother goddess Pārvatī and her consort Śiva. It is mainly celebrated by married women and unmarried girls, especially in Nepal and North India, to pray for the long life of their husband or future husband and to welcome the arrival of the monsoon through singing, swinging, dancing, joyous celebration, pūjā, and often fasting.

Chholiya
Chholiya (Kumaoni) or Hudkeli (Nepali) is a traditional folk dance form originated in the Kumaon division of the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and Sudurpashchim province of Nepal. It has today become a symbol of Kumaoni and Sudurpashchimi (mainly in Doti, Baitadi and Darchula districts) and cultures including Khas Community in Sikkim. It is basically a sword dance accompanying a marriage procession but now it is performed on many auspicious occasions.
