But, do you really know why we observe this day of Hariyali Teej with such devotion and dedication? We bring you the legend of Hariyali Teej that let you know the reasons for observing Hariyali Teej Vrat.

Why Is Hariyali Teej Celebrated?

According to the Hindu mythology, it was the day of Shravani Teej (Teej falling in the month of Sawan), when Lord Shiva had finally accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife. It wasn't easy for Parvati Devi to impress Lord Shiva; hence, we should know the story behind this divine union.

Goddess Parvati admired Shiva and longed to marry him. But Lord Shiva wasn't easily touched by everyone. Hence, Goddess Parvati underwent a penance by observing a fast for many years to impress her ideal man. Finally, Parvati Devi was accepted by Lord Shiva as his wife. It is said that the union took place on the third day of Shukla Paksha in Sawan month. Since then, this day came into being and gradually, became the day when women observe Hariyali Teej Vrat for the longevity of their husbands.

Let's now take a look at the rituals and traditions that will be followed on the day of Shingara Teej.

How To Celebrate Hariyali Teej In 2017?

Following are the rituals that are to be followed on the day of Hariyali Teej:

  • Mehndi/Henna is applied on the palms.
  • A fast is observed by married and unmarried women.
  • Married women are gifted with Shringar (Henna, Bangles, Sweets, Sindoor/Vermilion, etc) by their parents-in-law.
  • Green clothes and bangles are worn by women.
  • Prayers are offered to Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva.
  • Towards the end of the day, women sing and dance in praise of Goddess Parvati.
Hariyali Teej, also known as Shingara Teej or Shravani Teej, takes place in  Shravan month.

Shravani Teej is one of the most celebrated festivals in Rajasthan. In the state, Teej Mata (Goddess Parvati) is worshiped in a princely manner. Processions of Teej Mata are taken on the streets, where tourists flock to witness the grandeur. Apart from this, songs and dances are performed amidst the streets of Rajasthan.

This was all about Shingara Teej and the way it is celebrated in our country.

Hariyali Teej is more than a mere festival, it is the festivity of the nuptial bond of marriage. The day of Shingara Teej signifies a woman's devotion toward her family and how she stands in front to protect her family from shady situations.
