Hartalika Teej 2025: Puja Vidhi
According to texts, worshipping in the morning is considered good. However, if you are unable to perform puja in the morning, then do it during Pradosh time. On this day, women observe fast and perform puja, waking up early in the morning. During puja, it is important to narrate the katha to understand the importance of the day. In Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, Hartalika Vrat is known as Gowri Habba, as they refer to Goddess Parvati and Gauri.
The legend of Hartalika Teej was narrated by Lord Shiva himself while reminding Goddess Parvati about her rebirth as Shailputri at the home of King Himalayaraj. It is said that if you worship goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva with solah sringar on this day, then it will please the deities and shower you with blessings.
