Hariyali Teej 2024: Hariyali Teej is a significant festival celebrated primarily in the northern and western parts of India, such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Bihar.
Hariyali Teej is celebrated on Shukla Paksha Tritiya of the month of Shravan.
The festival of Hariyali Teej holds importance in Hinduism because on this day Lord Shiva accepted Mother Parvati as his wife after her rigorous penance.
This year, it will be celebrated on August 7 according to the Gregorian calendar. This festival is also celebrated as the reunion of Shiva and Shakti.
