12th Chhaya Chhabi Teej Music Awards 2082 to Be Held on Bhadra 6

 The 12th Chhaya Chhabi Teej Music Awards 2082 is set to take place on Bhadra 6 at Levis Garden, Dhumbarahi, the organizers announced.

According to Shantipriya, Chairperson of the Awards, the event is being organized with the aim of preserving and promoting Nepali culture through Teej music. He stated that the awards are not only about entertainment but also about honoring the cultural significance of Teej and encouraging creators who contribute to the tradition.

Traditionally, Teej songs have highlighted women’s voices, but in recent years, male participation has increased alongside controversies over vulgar content. Despite such challenges, the awards seek to recognize and promote authentic and culturally rooted Teej songs.

This year, the organizers extended congratulations to all the creators nominated in the Top 5 categories and expressed gratitude to all artists and composers who contributed songs for Teej, even amid changing times and limited investment in music.
