The festival falls during the monsoon season when the surroundings are covered with greenery, hence it is referred to as Hariyali Teej (Green Teej). Hariyali Teej is also known as Sawan Teej, Choti Teej, and Madhusrava Teej.
The festival of Hariyali Teej is as significant as Karwa Chauth observed by married Hindu women. The festival of Hariyali Teej is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and Her unison with Lord Shiva. It was on this day when Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife. That is why Goddess Parvati is also referred to as ‘Teej Mata’.
