Significance of Hariyali Teej
The significance of Hariyali Teej lies in the story of eternal love and patience. It is believed that Goddess Parvati fasted and meditated for many lifetimes before Lord Shiva accepted her as his wife. Teej celebrates her dedication and marks their divine reunion.
For married women, Teej is a celebration of love, trust, and commitment. For unmarried girls, it’s a way to pray for a good partner and a happy future.
Apart from the spiritual side, it also welcomes the greenery and freshness of the monsoon season. Hence the name Hariyali (which means greenery).
