Hariyali Teej: Why do we apply alta and wear green colour on Hariyali Teej, read about its significance here..

Hariyali Teej Shringar 2025: Hariyali Teej, the biggest festival of married women, will be celebrated on 27th July this year. Like every year, this time too women will keep a Nirjala fast for the long life and unbroken good fortune of their husbands and will worship Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. On this day, women participate in the fast worship by doing 16 makeup. On the day of Hariyali Teej, women especially use green color in their makeup. Like green bangles, mehndi, green saree, and bindi. Also, on this day, women definitely apply talc on their feet. Because Mahavar increases the good fortune of women. Therefore, on every auspicious occasion, married women apply alta or Mahavar. Without this, makeup is considered incomplete. Special things related to Mahavar, let us know further in the article...

Let us tell you that Mahavar is not only applied by married women, but it is also applied to unmarried girls. Because Mahavar is considered to be the form of Mother Lakshmi. In many places, after the birth of a daughter, at the time of Grihapravesh and during Navratri Pujan, Mahavar is applied on the feet of virgin girls, and its imprint is also taken in the house. This increases the happiness and prosperity of the house.

You cannot apply Mahavar while sitting in any direction. Always keep in mind that one should never apply ala while sitting in the Dakshina direction.

On the other hand, you should not apply Mahavar on Tuesday. Applying alta on this day is not considered auspicious. Apart from this, if someone has died in the house, then you should avoid applying alta. Because during this time, Sutak is imposed, so doing new work and makeup is prohibited.

What is the importance of green color on Hariyali Teej?

According to religious beliefs, Lord Shiva is very fond of greenery and nature. Therefore, on the day of Hariyali Teej, dedicated to Lord Shiva, women who wear green bangles, a saree, and apply mehndi get unbroken good fortune, and happiness comes in married life.
