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.
Hartalika Teej remembers Goddess Parvati's long devotion that won Lord Shiva as her husband. Women keep a strict fast — many without even water — make small clay images of Shiva and Parvati, and pray for a happy marriage and a loving home.
