Hartalika Teej Puja Vidhi: Hartalika Teej has special significance in Hinduism. This fast is considered a symbol of devotion, love, and dedication for women. Married women observe this fast for the long life of their husbands and marital happiness and prosperity, while unmarried girls observe it with the wish of getting a good life partner. This year, Hartalika Teej will be celebrated on 27 August 2025, a Wednesday. According to tradition, women observe a Nirjala fast on this day and stay awake all night, and sing bhajans and kirtans.

It is believed that this is the same day when Mother Parvati performed hard penance and got Lord Shiva as her husband. Therefore, this fast is considered a symbol of the unbreakable union of Shiva and Parvati. However, Hartalika Teej is not limited to the worship of Shiva-Parvati only. It is also necessary to worship Ganeshji, the Sun God, and Shukra Dev on this day, so that happiness, peace, and prosperity remain in the house.

Importance of worshiping Lord Ganesha

Like every auspicious work, the worship of Hartalika Teej is also considered incomplete without the worship of Lord Ganesha. There is a religious belief that Ganpati Bappa is the destroyer of obstacles and removes obstacles in any worship or fast. Therefore, on the day of Teej, women first worship Ganeshji and then start their fast. By doing this, not only is the worship successful and completed without any obstacles, but happiness, peace, and prosperity also come to the family.

Energy and health through worshiping the Sun God

Worshipping the Sun God on Hartalika Teej has special significance. According to ancient tradition, offering Arghya to the Sun on this day brings energy and enthusiasm in life. It is believed that health remains good and vitality increases with the grace of the Sun. This is the reason why women definitely worship the Sun God in the worship of Teej.

Love and harmony through worshiping Shukra Dev

In religious scriptures, Shukra Dev is considered to be the factor of love, attraction, and marital harmony. Worshipping Shukra Dev on Hartalika Teej is considered extremely beneficial for married life. His worship increases mutual understanding and love between husband and wife, and sweetness remains in married life.

Tradition of fasting and worship

The fast of Hartalika Teej is observed as a Nirjala fast, in which women worship Lord Shiva-Parvati without consuming water the whole day. Coconut, Belpatra, fruits, flowers, and sweets are offered in the worship. It is believed that the fast and proper worship done on this day brings positive energy into the house, and the family gets the blessings of the gods and goddesses.

Hartalika Teej is not limited to only Shiva-Parvati.
It is often understood that the fast of Hartalika Teej is only for the worship of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. But according to the scriptures, this fast is considered complete only when Lord Ganesha, Sun God and Venus God are also worshipped along with it. The collective worship of all these gods and goddesses not only gives spiritual power to the fasting person, but also blesses the family with happiness, good fortune and prosperity.
