Date: Saturday, 26 July 2025 (Vrat)Celebration & Puja: Sunday, 27 July 2025Occasion: Shravan Shukla Tritiya – A Symbol of Marital Bliss and Divine ReunionWhat is Hariyali Teej?Hariyali Teej is a deeply spiritual and culturally rich festival celebrated predominantly by women in North Indian states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana. The word ‘Hariyali’ means greenery, marking the onset of the monsoon, while ‘Teej’ refers to the third lunar day of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Shravan (Sawan) as per the Hindu calendar.This day is dedicated to the divine couple Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, symbolizing their eternal love, penance, and reunion. Women observe strict fasts and perform rituals to seek marital harmony, happiness, and longevity for their spouses. Unmarried women pray for an ideal life partner.Mythological Significance: The Divine Love of Shiva and ParvatiAccording to Hindu scriptures, Goddess Parvati performed intense penance for 108 births to win Lord Shiva as her husband. Pleased with her unwavering devotion, Lord Shiva accepted her as his consort on Shravan Shukla Tritiya, the day celebrated as Hariyali Teej.Hence, this festival is seen as the celebration of divine union, and every woman who observes the rituals with devotion is believed to receive Parvati’s blessings for a long, blissful married life.🌺 Spiritual and Cultural ImportanceHariyali Teej is not just a festival - it is a celebration of feminine devotion, seasonal transformation, and divine grace. Rooted in mythology and enriched by generations of tradition, it gracefully blends love, nature, and spirituality, forming a powerful narrative that continues to resonate with millions of women.For married women, Hariyali Teej holds immense spiritual value. It is observed as a sacred vrat (fast) to pray for the well-being, prosperity, and longevity of their husbands. Women fast throughout the day -often without even a sip of water- expressing their commitment and devotion, while seeking the eternal love and blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This vrat is believed to strengthen the bond of marriage, ensuring a harmonious and blissful conjugal life.For unmarried girls, the festival represents hope and divine aspiration. Inspired by Goddess Parvati’s unwavering devotion and penance, young women worship Shiva-Parvati and observe the vrat with the heartfelt wish of being blessed with an ideal life partner -someone who embodies love, understanding, and companionship.In both villages and urban cities, Hariyali Teej also brings with it a burst of cultural festivity. It marks the arrival of the monsoon, when nature flourishes and the earth is draped in green. Women gather under trees to swing on beautifully decorated jhulas, wear green sarees, apply mehendi, and sing traditional folk songs. These shared moments foster community bonding, joy, and sisterhood, especially among women from diverse backgrounds.From a religious perspective, the day is immersed in devotion and ritual. It includes observing a nirjala vrat (a fast without even water), performing puja to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, adorning oneself with solah shringar (sixteen bridal adornments), reading or listening to the Hariyali Teej vrat katha, and participating in bhajans and jagarans (night-long devotional singing). It is a vibrant blend of faith, beauty, discipline, and cultural richness.✨ Deeper EssenceThe symbolic color green (Hariyali) reflects fertility, harmony, prosperity, and rejuvenation -all of which are deeply connected to womanhood and marital life. It represents the freshness of new beginnings and the grace of nature that nurtures life.More than rituals and celebrations, Hariyali Teej is a tribute to the emotional and spiritual strength of women -their capacity to love deeply, nurture selflessly, and sacrifice endlessly. It glorifies not just external beauty, but also internal strength, rooted in faith and divine connection.By honoring the story of Parvati’s penance and Shiva’s acceptance, the festival offers timeless lessons in patience, surrender, purity of intention, and the power of devotion. It teaches that true love is earned not just by desire, but through grace, faith, and unwavering determination.🪔 Puja Samagri List: What You Need for Hariyali Teej 2025Here is a full list of items you need for a traditional Hariyali Teej Puja at home:🛐 Primary Puja Items:* Mitti (clay) or sand idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati* Chowki (altar) covered with clean cloth* Gangajal (holy Ganges water)* Kalash (pot filled with water)* Diya (lamp) with ghee or sesame oil🌸 Devotional Offerings:* Belpatra (Bilva leaves)* Dhatura (sacred flower)* Fresh flowers and fruits* Chandan (sandalwood paste)* Rice grains (Akshat)* Panchamrit (milk, curd, honey, sugar, ghee)* Nariyal (coconut)* Supari (betel nuts)* Sweets like ghevar, laddoo, and kheer💄 Solah Shringar Items for Goddess ...
