Hariyali Teej 2025, also known as Haryali Teej or Shravana Tritiya Teej, falls this year on Sunday, 27 July 2025, commemorating the divine reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and celebrating love, renewal and greenery during the monsoon season.

📅 Date & Auspicious Timings (Shubh Muhurat)

Women traditionally begin the fast before sunrise, ideally during Brahma Muhurat, and avoid negative talk or tamasic behaviors throughout the dayding at 10:41 PM on July 27, based on Tritiya Tithi calculations from Drik Panchang.

💫 What Is Hariyali Teej?

Hariyali Teej literally means “Green Teej,” celebrating the arrival of the monsoon (“hariyali” means greenery) and the divine reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati after Parvati’s penance over 108 births.

Primarily celebrated in North Indian states—Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Haryana—the festival is deeply rooted in tradition, marking marital devotion and renewal.

🕉️ Spiritual Significance & Hariyali Teej Katha

On Hariyali Teej, women observe a nirjala vrat (fast without water) to honor Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, praying for their husband’s long life and marital happiness—while unmarried girls pray for a good match.

The Hariyali Teej katha narrates how Goddess Parvati’s perseverance earned the love of Shiva—symbolizing dedication, strength, and the power of penance. Rituals weave these divine stories into puja, folk songs, and cultural gatherings that enrich the day.

🎀 Rituals & Traditions

• Fasting (Vrat): Mostly observed by married women, and some unmarried women, from Tritiya tithi start to end.
• Wearing Green: Women don green sarees or outfits and bangles, symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and marital bliss.
• Mehndi: Intricate henna designs are applied on hands and feet, believed to invoke Goddess Parvati’s blessings. Deeper mehndi color is considered auspicious.
• Sindhara Gifts: Married daughters receive baskets of sweets (like ghevar), bangles, and traditional items from parents for good fortune and family bonding.
• Swings & Folk Songs: Community gatherings include singing folk Teej songs and enjoying swings tied under trees—a hallmark of Teej festivities.
