About
Hartalika Teej falls on the third tithi of the bright half of Bhadrapada, in August or September, the day before Ganesh Chaturthi. The vow recalls Parvati's austerity to win Shiva, and the name refers to her friends (ali) who carried her off (harit) to the forest. The tithi at sunrise is taken; when Tritiya is joined with Hasta nakshatra the day is considered complete. Karnataka keeps the same day as Gowri Habba, and the Haryali and Kajari Teej of Shravana are separate observances.
How it is observed
A strict fast, often without water, worship of clay images of Shiva and Parvati, and a night of song.
