Significance: The tritiya tithi in the month of shravan is believed to be the day when lord Shiv has blessed Parvati to choose him as her husband. Since lord Shiv and Parvati marriage is seen as an example of perfect marriage, married women keep fasting and pray from lord Shiv for the long life of their husband and seek blessing of remaining sada suhagan (married forever).
On this day women dress up like a new bride, apply henna on their hands and wear green bangles. They also swing jhoolas in the garden, dance on folk songs and celebrate this day. As the name suggests Hariyali teej, everything is green which signifies prosperity.
