On the Tritiya Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of the Shravan month, devotees celebrate Hariyali Teej. Therefore, Shravan Teej is another name for Hariyali Teej in several parts of India. On Hariyali Teej, married women conduct a fast hoping to extend their husbands' lives. Because it occurs in the month of Shravan, Hariyali Teej is revered as being extremely auspicious. Lord Shiva and his bride, Goddess Parwati, are deserving of reverence during the entire month of Shravan. The ancient texts state that worshiping Lord Shiva with Parwati benefits a happy marriage. If you, as a wife, do the Pooja-Vrat wholeheartedly on Hariyali Teej, it will be fruitful for your married life and your husband.

You'll see that nature is completely covered with greenery during Shravan month. So, Hariyali Teej is another name given to the Teej. According to ancient texts, Lord Shiva and Parvati were wed on Hariyali Teej. This Teej thus has a profound religious significance. On the unique occasion of Hariyali Teej, all married women who observe fast thoroughly deck themselves out in makeup. They also don brand-new clothing. However, according to custom, the mother's house must provide the clothing and cosmetics. Married women must maintain their newlywed bride appearance.
History and Origin of Teej
The festival of Teej has been observed for many years, and according to Hindu mythology, it is the day when Goddess Parvati entered Lord Shiva's abode as his consort. Thus, the festival symbolizes a Hindu woman's respect, devotion, and love for her husband.
Types of Teej
Teej is one of the most important Hindu festivals in India in July. There are types of Teej celebrated in India – The Hariyali Teej, Hartalika Teej, and Kajari Teej. The Hariyali Teej, also known as 'Choti Teej,' is celebrated in the Hindu month of Shravan. This is followed by the Kajari Teej or the 'Badi Teej.' It is observed after fifteen days of Hariyali Teej. The last type of Teej, Hartalika Teej, falls in the Bhadrapad month, almost one month after Hariyali Teej. Although the customs, traditions, and celebrations may differ from state to state, the crux of the festival remains the same, i.e., women seeking Goddess Parvati's blessings for a blissful marital life.
Significance of Hariyali Teej 2024
Due to the marriage of the goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, Hariyali Teej has great religious significance. To please Lord Shiva, the goddess Parvati underwent 108 births to be accepted by Lord Shiva as his wife. Because it was Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the Shravan month, this date is revered as being extremely fortunate. Since God and the goddess were wed on this day, married ladies who perform Vrat with all Pooja Samagri on Hariyali Teej are blessed in particular ways. If you adore Lord Shiva and Parvati by doing all of their rituals, your marriage will be peaceful and joyful. The longevity of your husband will be to your benefit.
