Importance of Hartalika Teej (Hartalika Teej 2025 Significance)

According to religious stories, Goddess Parvati left her father's house and went to the forest and performed rigorous penance so that she could get Lord Shiva as her husband. Seeing her penance, Lord Shiva appeared before her and accepted her as his wife. The word 'Hartalika' is made up of 'Harat' (abduction) and 'Aalika' (friend), which means the abduction of Goddess Parvati by a friend.

This was done so that Mother Parvati's marriage does not happen without her wish. This fast is a symbol of sacrifice and love.
