Sawan Teej, also known as Hariyali Teej, is not just a festival—it's an emotion deeply rooted in love, faith, tradition, and nature. Celebrated with grandeur in the Shravan month, this divine day is dedicated to the sacred union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It holds special importance for married women and young girls who fast and pray for a blessed married life and devotion that mirrors Parvati’s.
From vibrant green outfits to decorated swings and heartwarming folk songs, Sawan Teej beautifully combines cultural elegance with spiritual depth.
🌸 Why Sawan Teej is Celebrated
The origin of Sawan Teej lies in the divine story of Goddess Parvati, who undertook severe penance for several lifetimes to win Lord Shiva’s love and acceptance. On this very day, Lord Shiva finally accepted Parvati as his ardhangini (better half). This divine event is remembered and honored by women through fasting, dressing up, singing Teej songs, and celebrating with sisters and friends.
🙏 Importance of Sawan Teej:
Spiritual Union: It symbolizes the eternal bond of Shiv-Shakti—representing perfect balance and unconditional devotion.
Marriage Blessings: Married women observe the vrat for their husband's well-being; unmarried girls pray for a Shiva-like life partner.
Monsoon Festival: It welcomes the rains with songs, green clothes, swings, and nature worship.
Inner Cleansing: The Nirjala vrat (fast without water) and spiritual rituals are believed to purify mind, body, and soul.
🛕 Rituals Performed on Sawan Teej
Nirjala Vrat: Women fast from sunrise to moonrise without food or water.
Shiv-Parvati Puja: Clay idols are worshipped, and stories of their divine love are recited.
Swings (Jhula): Symbolic of romance and playfulness, swings are hung from trees and decorated with flowers.
Dressing in Green: Green sarees, lehengas, bangles, and mehendi signify fertility, growth, and auspiciousness.
Group Celebrations: Women gather to sing Teej folk songs, dance, and share traditional sweets like ghewar and kheer.
🌧️ Teej & Monsoon – Nature’s Blessing
The timing of Sawan Teej during monsoon season makes it even more special. It’s a time when Mother Earth turns green, fields bloom, and life rejuvenates. The festival not only celebrates love but also connects us deeply with nature’s abundance and seasonal beauty.
