Hariyali Teej 2020: Celebrated in the holy month of Sawan, the festival of Teej holds a special significance in the lives of married women. On the auspicious day they keep fast (vrat) and worship Lord Shankar and mother Parvati for the long life and good health of their husband. It is celebrated on the Tritiya of Shukla Paksha of the month of Savan. This year Hariyali Teej is being observed on July 23 but the festivities begin a few days earlier. It is usually said that the fast of Hariyali Teej is more difficult than that of Karwa Chauth because on this day wives do not eat or drink anything for about 30 hours. If you are also the one who will be celebrating the festival amid the coronavirus pandemic this year, then you should probably have a look at the lucky time, puja method, pooja material, and fast story.
