Story of Hartalika Teej

The festival of Hartalika Teej is celebrated on Shukla Paksha Tritiya of Bhadrapada month. There is a gap of about a month between Hariyali Teej and Hartalika Teej. According to Guru Maa Nidhi Ji Shrimali, Goddess Parvati had accepted Lord Shiva as her husband in her mind and she was always engrossed in the penance of Lord Shiva. Seeing this, Parvati’s friends abducted her and took her to the deep forests. Harit means abducting and table means friend. Therefore this fast is called Haritalika Teej. Hartalika Teej

Because Parvati’s father wanted to marry her with Lord Vishnu and mother Parvati was not ready for it. Parvati continued her penance in the forests.

After seeing Goddess Parvati, he promised to marry her. Later, Mother Parvati’s father Himalaya also gave permission for the marriage.
