About Hariyali Teej:

Akha Teej or Akshaya Tritiya and Gangaur Tritiya are not part of the Teej festivals referred above. Hariyali Teej, Kajari Teej and Hartalika Teej are highly significant because these Teejs occur in Shravana and Bhadrapada months. Timing of these three Teej festivals in Shravana and Bhadrapada months, which coincide with the monsoon season, makes them more special to women.

Hariyali Teej, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, occurs on Shukla Paksha Tritiya in Shravana month, which usually falls two days before Nag Panchami. Shravana month is considered as holy month to observe various fasts dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

Hariyali Teej signifies reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. On this auspicious day, women devotees worship Goddess Parvati to seek marital bliss and happy married life. Married women celebrate this day with great passion and joy. Wearing new clothes and ornaments, they visit their parents’ home and celebrate the day by singing and swing riding.

Parents of married women send a bucket of gift, known as Sindhara, to their daughters. Sindhara contains variety of items like homemade sweets, Ghewar, Henna, bangles etc. Because of this custom of gifting Sindhara to the daughter and her in-laws during this festival, Hariyali Teej is also known as Sindhara Teej.

Other names for Hariyali Teej are Chhoti Teej and Shravana Teej. Kajari Teej, which occurs fifteen days after Hariyali Teej, is known as Badi Teej.
