The third day of the Shukla Paksha of the Shravan month is called Hariyali Teej or Shravani Teej. As per the English Calendar, the festival befalls in the month of July or August.

The Teej festival commemorates the women and their spirit of producing offsprings. As the season of Monsoon commences, Mother Earth is covered with green hued foliage and fragrant flora all around, the women dance and swing their way to zeal and celebration of their abundant life.

Hariyali Teej: According to the Scriptures

The Hindu religion is a peculiar religion that associates any story or a tale with its myriad of festivals. Commemorated on the sacred occasion of the reconciliation of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, the festival celebrates the love between the divine couple, and also the fertile bond that exists between the two. As per the story, Goddess Parvati engaged in severe penance for getting Lord Shiva as her husband. After 108 years of this absolute penance, Goddess Parvati was able to get Lord Shiva as her cherished husband.

It’s been said that Lord Shiva accepted Maa Parvati as his wife on the third day of the Shukla Paksha of Shravan month. Since that auspicious day, the divinity has blessed the day for a pious day for the married women.

Due to this, the day of Hariyali Teej holds a special significance in the lives of the married couple in the anticipation of a joyous and abundant marital life!
