The origins of Hartalika Teej are rooted in ancient Hindu mythology. According to legend, Goddess Parvati performed intense austerities for many years to win Lord Shiva's love and approval as her consort. Her friend took her away to a forest to prevent her father from marrying her to Lord Vishnu against her wishes. Eventually, Shiva, impressed by Parvati’s dedication, accepted her as his wife. The word "Hartalika" is derived from "harit" (abduction) and "aalika" (friend), referring to the goddess being taken away by her friend.

On Hartalika Teej, women dress in vibrant traditional attire, often in shades of green, red, or yellow, symbolizing prosperity and happiness. They gather to perform special prayers, sing devotional songs, and apply henna on their hands. The main ritual involves observing a strict fast, where women do not eat or drink throughout the day. They also create small clay idols of Shiva and Parvati, which are worshiped with offerings of flowers, fruits, and sweets. The fast is broken only after performing all the rituals and listening to the "Teej Vrat Katha," a sacred story related to the festival.
Hartalika Teej holds immense cultural and social significance as it fosters a sense of community and solidarity among women. The festival is a celebration of marital love, devotion, and the divine union of Shiva and Parvati, emphasising the ideals of dedication, commitment, and loyalty in relationships. It also serves as an occasion for women to come together, exchange gifts, and share their joys and concerns. In recent times, there is also a growing emphasis on sustainability, with many opting for eco-friendly celebrations and rituals that align with the festival's spiritual essence. Wishing everyone Happy Hartalika Teej 2024!
