Know the meaning of Hartalika.
The word Hartalika is made up of Harat and Aalika. In this, Harat means kidnapping, and Aalika means friend. According to the story of Hartalika Teej, Parvatraj Himalaya wanted to marry his daughter Parvati to Lord Vishnu.

But, Mother Parvati was against this marriage because she had accepted Lord Bholenath as her husband. In such a situation, Mother Parvati's friends kidnapped her and hid her in the forest, where she made a Shivling and did hard penance to get Shiva as her husband.

Prepare for worship like this.

In this fast, a clay idol of Gauri Shankar is made. On the day of the fast, wake up in Brahma Muhurta, take a bath, and wear clean clothes. After this, chant the mantra "Umamaheshwarasaayujya Siddhaye Haritalika Vratamham Karishye" to take a vow of fasting.

After cleaning the place of worship in the house, spread a red or yellow cloth on the chowki. Install the idol or picture of Lord Shiva, Mother Parvati, and Ganesh ji on the chowki.

Women should get ready after applying 16 makeup. After this, offer incense, lamp, sandalwood, akshat, flowers, fruits, betel leaf, betel nut, camphor, coconut, belpatra, shami patra, etc. to God for worship.

After this, install the Kalash and place water, mango leaves, and coconut on it. Bathe the Shiv family with Gangajal. Light incense, lamps, and perform aarti. Listen to the story of Hartalika Teej.

Sing bhajans and kirtans at night and do jagran. The next day morning, break the fast after offering vermilion to Mother Parvati.
