Hariyali Teej is a Hindu festival celebrated primarily by women in North India, observed on the Tritiya (third day) of the bright fortnight of the Shravan month. The festival celebrates the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Women dress in green attire, apply mehndi, swing on decorated swings, and observe a fast for the well-being of their husbands. The word Hariyali means greenery, reflecting the lush monsoon season in which this festival falls.
