Hariyali Teej 2020 date
Hariyali Teej is observed on the Tritiya Tithi, Shukla Paksha in the holy month of Shravan. This year it will be celebrated on July 23.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati, Hariyali Teej Vrat is observed by married women, who pray for a blissful married life while unmarried girls wish for a husband of their choice and liking. Women who have been keeping a vrat for years would know all the rituals and dos and don'ts attached to it. But the newly-married women, who are all set to observe the Hariyali Teej Vrat for the first time may not be well versed with it.
It is also a special occasion for unmarried girls, who wish to marry the man of their choice.
Kajari Teej
Kajari Teej is observed on the third day of the dark lunar fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapada (as per the Purnimant calendar) and Shravan (according to the Amavasyant calendar). Kajari Teej derives its name from a folk tradition that narrates the pain of brief separation of a woman from her husband. The songs describe how a woman feels the sweet pain of love as she visits her maternal house to celebrate Teej. On this day, women worship the Neem tree and the Moon God. Kajari Teej is also called Badi Teej as it concludes the Hariyali Teej (Chhoti Teej) festivities. Kajari Teej is celebrated in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Madhya Pradesh. This year, Kajari Teej will be celebrated on August 6.

Tritiya tithi begins at 10:50 PM on August 05 and ends at 12:14 AM on August 7.
Hartalika Teej
Hartalika Teej falls on the third day, Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the Moon) in Bhadrapada. It is observed one day before Ganesh Chaturthi.
Hartalika is a combination of two Sanskrit words Harat (kidnap) + Aalika (female friend). It refers to the event that took place before Mata Parvati got married to Lord Shiva. According to a legend associated with this Teej, Mata Parvati's father had chosen Lord Vishnu for her, but since she wanted to get married to Lord Shiva, she sought help from one of her friends. Mata Parvati's friend "abducted" her and took her to a thick forest where she could hide. The word 'abduction' shouldn't be misinterpreted. In this context, it is a gesture of lending help to a friend who wished to marry the man of her choice.
On the day of Hartalika Teej, women prepare clay idols of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati and worship them for a blissful married life. This ritual is similar to the Hariyali Teej festivities.
Hartalika Teej is celebrated in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
This year, Hartalika Teej will be observed on August 21.
