History and story behind Hartalika Teej

Hartalika Teej is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. The legend is that Goddess Parvati wished to marry Lord Shiva, but her father, King Himavan, wanted her to marry Lord Vishnu instead.

In order to fulfilled her lifelong wish, Parvati ji, with the help of her friend, fled to a forest. There she performed intense penance to please Shiv ji. Moved by her devotion, Shiva accepted her as his wife. The word “Hartalika” is made of two Hindi words-- harit which means abduction and aalika which means female friend. Thus, it symbolises the friend who helped Parvati escape to fulfill her wish.

Significance of Hartalika Teej

The significance of Hartalika Teej lies in its devotion to marital bliss and faith.

Married women observe this day by fasting and praying for the long life and well-being of their husbands, while unmarried women fast in hopes of being blessed with a loving life partner, just like Lord Shiva. The festival reflects the values of love, loyalty, and spiritual strength, while also celebrating the bond between friends who support one another through challenges.
