Hartalika Teej Vrat Katha

According to the legend, once on Mount Kailash, Mother Parvati asked Lord Shiva what virtue she had, due to which she could get Shiva as her husband. On this, Lord Shiva reminded her of her own penance. Mother Parvati had accepted Shiva as her husband in her mind since childhood, and with this resolve, she did rigorous penance for 12 years. She lived in the forest, ate leaves of trees, gave up food, and endured the hardships of every season. Seeing her penance, her father, Himalaya Raj, became worried. At the same time, Sage Narada brought a proposal of marriage for Lord Vishnu, which Himalaya Raj accepted. When Parvati ji was told this, she became very sad and shared her thoughts with her friends. She said that she had already accepted Lord Shiva as her husband and would not marry anyone else.

On hearing this, the friends kidnapped her and hid her in a cave. Parvati ji worshipped Shiva by making a Shivalinga from clay in Hasta Nakshatra on Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya and stayed awake all night. Pleased with her devotion, Shiva appeared and accepted her as his wife. Since then, this fast is observed by women who wish for their husband's long life and a happy married life, and unmarried girls observe this fast with the desire to get a suitable groom.
