In return, the snake promised that no person or animal would die from a snakebite if they sought the blessings of Teja. People in Rajasthan particularly call upon this promise on Shukla tenth of the month of Bhadrapada, a day that is set aside for marking his death. Anthropologists say the Tejaji following sect is protagonist that includes an element of protest against the caste system. * Teja temple at Kharnal in Nagaur, Rajasthan * Painting depicting Tejaji's marriage at Pushkar * Sursura Ajmer Teja Dham, where Tejaji died (en)
