According to the Hindu calendar, the Hariyali Teej fast is observed every year on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha of the Shravan month. On this day, married women observe a fast for the long life and good fortune of their husbands, and unmarried girls observe this fast to get their desired groom. On this day, there is a ritual of worshipping Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva. Married women observe fast throughout the day for unbroken good fortune and do puja with sixteen adornments. This year, due to the Tritiya Tithi of Sawan being for two days, there is a little confusion about the date of Hariyali Teej.
The Hindu calendar states that the Hariyali Teej fast is held annually on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha during the month of Shravan. Married ladies fast on this day for their husbands' longevity and good fortune, and single females fast to attract the man of their dreams. It is customary to worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati on this day. Married women perform puja with sixteen adornments and follow a fast throughout the day for unbroken good fortune. The timing of Hariyali Teej is a little unclear this year because Sawan's Tritiya Tithi lasts for two days.

Hariyali Teej Significance
The event honours the union of Maa Parvati and Lord Shiva. Maa Parvati is said to have performed 108 lifetimes of penance in order to gain the affection of Lord Shiva. That wish came true on Hariyali Teej.
Since the event is held during the monsoon season, when the Earth turns green, the word "Haryali" signifies "greenery". Green is a colour associated with growth, fertility, and prosperity. Chhoti Teej and Shravana Teej are other names for Hariyali Teej.
