The festival of Hariyali Teej is as significant as Karwa Chauth observed by married Hindu women. The festival of Hariyali Teej is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and Her unison with Lord Shiva. It was on this day when Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife. That is why Goddess Parvati is also referred to as ‘Teej Mata’.
