Story And Importance Of Hartalika Teej 2022

It is believed that Goddess Parvati underwent austerity to marry Lord Shiva. Goddess Parvati observed strict austerity at the river Ganga in the Himalayas. Maharishi Narad arrived with a marriage proposal one day on behalf of Lord Vishnu. After this, Goddess Parvati explained to her female companion that she had to win Lord Shiva into becoming her husband. Following this, Goddess Parvati went to the forest on her friend’s advice, where she completely absorbed herself in worshiping Lord Shiva. On the third day of Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month, Goddess Parvati created a Shivalinga out of the sand and then immersed herself in the devotion of Lord Shiva. After seeing this, Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as his bride. Hence, through Hartalika Teej Vrat, seek the divine blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
