Hariyali Teej: Significance and Why Women Wear Green

Hariyali Teej is a Hindu festival celebrated in North India, especially in places like Rajasthan.

It happens during the monsoon season.

Women wear green clothes, like sarees and bangles, to celebrate.

Green stands for nature, new life, and good luck.

It marks the time when the earth becomes green again because of the rain.

People believe it's a day to honor the story of the reunion of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva.

Women, married or not, observe this festival to pray for happiness and good marriages.
