Hariyali Teej happens to be one of the most vibrant festivals celebrated during the monsoon season. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the festival celebrates love, devotion, marital harmony and the beauty of nature. The festival is especially significant for married women, who traditionally observe a fast and offer prayers for the well-being and long life of their husbands. Unmarried women may also observe the festival with prayers for a happy married life. Hariyali Teej is also associated with green bangles, mehendi, swings, traditional outfits, festive songs and family celebrations.
