Hartalika Teej is the day when, as per belief, Lord Shiva accepted Parvati as his wife. This year, the day will be observed on August 21. It is important to note that usually, this day falls on the eve of Ganesh Chathurthi.
The term Hartalika, comes from a combination of two words Harit and Aalika. The word Harit means abduction and Aalika means a female friend. According to the Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati’s father, Himalaya had fixed her marriage with Lord Vishnu. However, she did not wish to marry him as she had performed severe austerity on the banks of river Gange to have Shiva as her husband. Those women who celebrate Hartalika Teej, observe Nirjala Vrat.
