Overview

## What Hariyali Teej marks

Hariyali Teej welcomes the monsoon with swings, green clothing, mehndi, songs and worship of Parvati and Shiva. It is especially visible among women in Rajasthan and across North India, where the return of rain and greenery gives the festival its name. Family custom may include fasting, but the broader celebration is also about reunion, seasonal joy and women's folk culture.

Significance

## Mythology & meaning

The day recalls Parvati's long resolve and her union with Shiva. In practice, its cultural importance also lies in the songs and gatherings through which women share memory, humour and support. Reading the festival only as a wife's duty misses this social dimension and the monsoon setting that shapes its imagery.

Rituals

## How it's celebrated

Women may apply mehndi, wear green or bright clothes, decorate swings, sing Teej songs and visit family. A Parvati-Shiva puja and vrat katha are common, with fasting adapted to household custom. Public processions in Rajasthan may carry an image of Teej Mata. Safe hydration and health needs should always override a strict monsoon fast.

Across India

## Regional variations

Same festival, many names

Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, western Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have prominent observances. Hariyali Teej is distinct from Kajari Teej and Hartalika Teej, which fall later and have different regional practices.
