Introduction to Hariyali Teej
Hariyali Teej is a beautiful Indian festival celebrated with vibrant colors, traditional customs, and a deep spiritual connection to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The word “Hariyali” means greenery, symbolizing nature’s bloom during the monsoon, while “Teej” marks the third day of the bright fortnight of the Shravan month.
Primarily celebrated by married and unmarried women in North Indian states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, the festival signifies marital harmony, devotion, and the joy of the monsoon season.
Mythological Significance of Hariyali Teej
The legend of Hariyali Teej is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. It is believed that:
- Goddess Parvati observed strict penance and fasts for several lifetimes to win the love and companionship of Lord Shiva.
- After her 108th birth, Lord Shiva accepted her as his consort, symbolizing divine love, perseverance, and devotion.
- Hence, Hariyali Teej is considered a sacred union of Shiva-Parvati, and women observe fasts to seek the same marital bliss and commitment.
Rituals and Traditions of Hariyali Teej
1. Nirjala Vrat (Fasting without water)
Women observe a strict nirjala vrat, refraining from food and water the entire day for the well-being of their husbands or to seek a suitable groom.
2. Swinging Under Trees
Decorated swings tied to trees are an iconic part of the celebrations. Women dress in green clothes, sing traditional Teej songs, and enjoy the monsoon breeze while swinging.
3. Mehendi Ceremony
Applying henna or mehendi is a customary tradition. It is believed that the darker the mehendi, the deeper the love between the couple.
4. Teej Puja
Idols of Shiva and Parvati are worshipped with flowers, sweets, and devotion. Married women pray for their husband’s long life and a happy marital life.
5. Shringar and Green Attire
Women adorn themselves with solah shringar (sixteen adornments), wear green sarees/suits, and visit temples with friends and family.
