Hartalika Teej is one of the most important festivals for married women in Hindu culture. Dedicated to Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, this auspicious day is observed for marital bliss, the long life of the husband, and the fulfillment of desires. Women keep a nirjala vrat (fast without food and water) on this day and worship Goddess Parvati, seeking her blessings for happiness and prosperity.
