Hartalika Teej 2024: On this day, Women adorn themselves with the solah shringar as a symbol of prosperity and divine blessings.
Hartalika Teej is an auspicious festival celebrated by Hindu women to mark the sacred union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and seek marital bliss and progeny. It falls during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya of Bhadrapada month. It comes one month after Hariyali Teej and most of the time celebrated one day before Ganesh Chaturthi. This year, it will be celebrated on September 6.
On Hartalika Teej, statues of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are made from sand and worshipped by married women. The morning is regarded as the ideal time to perform Hartalika Puja, but if that’s not feasible, the Pradosh period is also considered suitable for performing the Shiva-Parvati Puja.
