Hartalika Teej Vrat is celebrated on the Tritiya Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. In 2024, this significant fast falls on Friday, 6th September. The festival is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, with the morning time considered most auspicious for the rituals. However, if morning worship is not feasible, devotees can perform the puja during Pradosh Kaal (evening). It is believed that observing this fast brings marital bliss and the blessing of progeny.

When to Perform Udyapan for Hartalika Teej Vrat
Hartalika Teej is regarded as one of the more challenging fasts, as it involves abstaining from both food and water. According to renowned priest Pandit Pradeep Mishra, as per the scriptures, the Udyapan (culmination ceremony) for Hartalika Teej should not be performed prematurely. Unlike Ekadashi Vrat, where Udyapan can be done after observing the fast for a year, Hartalika Teej’s Udyapan is advised only after 13 consecutive years of observing the fast.
