Hariyali Teej Vrat Katha: The Divine Love of Shiva-Parvati

Once, Goddess Parvati incarnated on Earth to attain Lord Shiva as her husband. Despite being rejected initially due to her worldly origin, she remained steadfast in her tapasya (austerity). For 108 births, she performed intense penance. On her 108th birth, Lord Shiva accepted her dedication and agreed to marry her on Teej Tritiya.

From then on, Hariyali Teej became a day of divine reunion, with women praying to Parvati for strength, patience, love, and the sanctity of marriage.
