Teej is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and is primarily observed by women in North India
Women dress up in traditional green sarees and jewellery, symbolising the arrival of monsoon and the lush greenery it brings
The highlight of the celebrations is the swinging ritual, where women enjoy on elaborately decorated swings, singing traditional songs and exchanging gifts
Hariyali Teej is not only a celebration of love and marital bliss but also a time for women to come together and pray for the well-being and prosperity of their families
Hariyali Teej also highlights the significance of nature's bounty in our lives, mirroring harmony between spiritual and earthly elements
