Hariyali Teej 2025 — Know The Significance Of Wearing Green Colour In Sawan Teej
Hariyali Teej is the festival lands on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha that holds a special place in the hearts of married and unmarried women alike.
Hariyali Teej 2025: As the monsoon clouds roll in and nature bursts into shades of green, millions of women across North India prepare to celebrate Hariyali Teej, a festival steeped in tradition, devotion, and hope. Falling during the lush month of Sawan (Shravan), this vibrant occasion marks not just a seasonal change — but a deeply symbolic celebration of marital bliss and spiritual connection.
In 2025, Hariyali Teej will be observed on Sunday, July 27, as per the Drik Panchang. The festival lands on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha, and holds a special place in the hearts of married and unmarried women alike.
A Festival Of Joy, Devotion, And Green Hues
From dawn to dusk, the day is filled with colourful rituals. Women often travel to their maternal homes, sing age-old folk songs, adorn their hands with mehendi (henna), and swing joyfully on beautifully decorated swings hung from trees. But one tradition stands out most vividly—the custom of wearing green attire and bangles.
This isn’t merely about fashion or aesthetics. The choice of green is profoundly meaningful, both culturally and spiritually.
Why Green Holds Deep Meaning On Hariyali Teej
In Hinduism, green is more than just a colour — it’s a symbol of fertility, renewal, and prosperity. Celebrated during the monsoon, Hariyali Teej echoes the natural abundance of the season. The green that surrounds the earth during Sawan mirrors the hopeful spirit of the festival.
But there’s more beneath the surface.
Green is also associated with Lord Shiva, to whom the festival is dedicated alongside Goddess Parvati. Their divine union is central to the celebration. Wearing green, therefore, becomes a heartfelt gesture of devotion — an offering of reverence and love.
From an astrological perspective, green is linked to the planet Mercury (Budh), which governs qualities like communication, intellect, and emotional harmony. A favourable Mercury is believed to enhance marital happiness and family well-being, adding another spiritual layer to the tradition.
