Haritalika Teej 2024: All You Need To Know About Celebrations, Rituals, and Auspicious Timings

On September 6, 2024, Haritalika Teej is being celebrated with Shukla Yoga and Hasta Nakshatra, a day dedicated to the worship of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva. This auspicious occasion, observed primarily in Bihar and parts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, is marked by fasting and prayers for the long life and prosperity of husbands.

Significance of Haritalika Teej

According to the Hindu calendar, Haritalika Teej falls on the Tritiya Tithi (third day) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. Out of the three Teej festivals celebrated annually, Haritalika Teej is considered the most significant. On this day, married women observe a strict fast, often without water, praying for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The fast is broken the next day during the Brahma Muhurta, an auspicious time before sunrise.

Haritalika Teej is also celebrated by unmarried girls who fast and pray for a suitable life partner. The day is filled with rituals, including the worship of the divine family of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and Lord Ganesha, which is believed to bestow the blessings of marital bliss and prosperity.
