Celebrating Hariyali Teej: A Day of Love and Prosperity

Today marks the joyous occasion of Hariyali Teej, a Hindu festival that celebrates the beautiful bond between husbands and wives. Observed on the Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the Shravana month, it’s a day filled with love and devotion.

On this special day, married women across India participate in fasting and prayers, seeking blessings from Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The festival is particularly popular in northern and western states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

This year, the festivities coincide with August 7, 2024, according to the Gregorian calendar. As part of the celebrations, women pray for their partners’ well-being and happiness, showing appreciation for their loved ones.

Fasting is an essential part of Hariyali Teej. Women not only fast for their husbands but also for unmarried women wishing to find a loving partner. The Tritiya Tithi, or auspicious time, started last night and will continue into the evening today.

On this beautiful day, heartfelt wishes and blessings are exchanged. “Wishing you a joyful and prosperous Hariyali Teej this year!” is a common greeting shared between friends and family. The festival truly brings people together, strengthening their relationships.
