Rules For First Hariyali Teej Vrat 2025
- Apply Mehndi (Henna):
It is considered highly auspicious to apply mehndi a day before the fast. Mehndi is a part of the 16 traditional bridal adornments (Solah Shringar), and especially important for those observing the vrat for the first time. - Wear Green Attire:
Wearing green symbolizes prosperity and harmony. Women should prepare a green saree, suit, or lehenga in advance for the puja. - Observe Nirjala Vrat (without food or water):
The fast is traditionally observed without food and water throughout the day. It is broken only after offering Arghya to the moon at night. However, if one is unable to observe a Nirjala Vrat due to health reasons, they may opt for a fruit-only fast. - Perform Solah Shringar (Sixteen Adornments):
On Hariyali Teej, women adorn themselves with full bridal makeup and accessories, just like a bride. It is believed that performing Solah Shringar invites the blessings of Goddess Parvati and ensures happiness in marital life.
