Hartalika Teej 2026हरतालिका तीज

Hindu date: Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya.

It is kept on the day that tithi is current at sunrise.

Dates are calculated for New Delhi. In other cities, and especially outside India, the tithi changes at a different local time, so a festival can fall a day earlier or later. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima. How we calculate

Parvati's father had promised her to Vishnu, so her friend carried her into the forest, where she made a linga of sand and worshipped Shiva until he accepted her. Married women keep the fast for their husbands' wellbeing and unmarried girls for a good husband.

The fast is usually kept without water through the day and night, with clay images of Shiva and Parvati worshipped in the evening, and is broken the next morning.
