Hartalika Teej
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Parvati created Shiva from sand and worshipped him to win him as husband. This teaches that even the divine can be invoked through devotion. What you seek is also seeking you - but effort and patience build the bridge.
