Significance of Hartalika Teej Puja

Women celebrate Hartalika Teej to seek divine blessings from Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Several women observe fast and listen to Hartalika Teej Vrat Katha to seek conjugal bliss. Unmarried women also observe the ritual in anticipation of a happy married life.

Hartalika Teej Rituals

Women adorn themselves with jewels and new clothes on the occasion of Hartalika Teej. This is followed by performing puja in the temples. Several women also keep nirjala vrat ( without water) to seek divine blessings of Goddess Parvati.

Women decorate their homes besides adorning the idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, wear henna on their hands and sing beautiful Teej songs. Swings are put up, fixed to branches of large trees steadfastly while women take turns to joyfully swing on them.

You can spot women in traditional clothes, receiving sindhare (gifts) from family members. They often get items of solah sringar (henna, bangles, vermillion) and sweets such as ghewar and pedas.
