Why is Hartalika Teej the most special Teej?
Hartalika Teej is considered the biggest and most important Teej. It is said that when Goddess Parvati's father decided to marry her to Lord Vishnu, she went to the forest with her friends and started performing rigorous penance. On the third day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada, the Goddess made a Shivling from sand and worshipped it according to the rituals.
Pleased with this worship, Lord Shiva appeared and accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife. It is said that the woman who makes the idol of Shiva-Parvati from sand on the day of Hartalika Teej and worships it according to the rituals, gets immense good fortune.
