The celebration of Hartalika Teej is observed on the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. The name, "Hartalika," is a composite word of "Harat" and "Aalika", meaning "abduction” and “female friend”. This name alludes towards the story behind observing Hartalika Teej. It is believed that the friend of Goddess Parvati took her to the thick forest so that her father could not marry her to Lord Vishnu against her wish. It is believed that after this, Goddess Parvati was able to marry Lord Shiva.

Married women and people who are seeking a kind and compatible partner often observe the Hartalika Teej fast to appease Goddess Parvati and seek marital bliss and togetherness.
