When is Hariyali Teej 2026?

Hariyali Teej 2026 falls on Saturday, August 15, 2026. The date is derived from the Vedic lunisolar calendar — specifically the Udaya Tithi (Sunrise) rule applied to Shravana Shukla 3 — so it shifts year-on-year as the lunar months drift against the solar year. Last year (2025) it fell on 2025-07-27.

What time is Hariyali Teej puja muhurat in 2026?

Hariyali Teej observance follows the Udaya Tithi (Sunrise) rule for muhurat selection — the tithi must be present during the relevant time window (sunrise, midday, evening or midnight depending on the festival's central rite). Specific timings vary city-by-city; consult the table above.

What tithi is Hariyali Teej observed on?

Hariyali Teej is observed on Shravana Shukla 3. The tithi (lunar day) is the canonical anchor — the Gregorian date shifts each year, but the tithi assignment stays fixed. A tithi averages 23 hours 37 minutes (because the Moon advances 12° relative to the Sun, not 12° per solar day), so it almost always spans two Gregorian dates; the Udaya Tithi (Sunrise) rule picks which one.

When was Hariyali Teej last year, and when is it next year?

Hariyali Teej 2025 fell on 2025-07-27; Hariyali Teej 2027 will fall on 2027-08-04. The Hindu lunisolar calendar runs ~11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so most festivals shift earlier year-on-year; in Adhika-masa years (the intercalary 13th month inserted every 2-3 years) they jump ~19 days later instead.

Is Hariyali Teej 2026 a regional festival, or is it observed nationwide?

Hariyali Teej is part of the pan-Indian Hindu festival calendar but its observance style varies by region — North India (the Holi/Diwali/Navratri stream), Bengal (the Durga Puja stream), Maharashtra (the Ganesh Chaturthi tradition), Tamil Nadu (the Pongal/Karthikai cluster) and Kerala (Onam) each contribute distinct regional vidhi. The date computed here applies pan-regionally to the lunar Hindu calendar — the rituals attached to that date differ by community.

How are Hariyali Teej 2026 timings computed for my city?

Each city's muhurat is derived from that city's exact sunrise, sunset and the tithi-end clock for 2026-08-15, not from a fixed India-centric table. We compute sunrise and sunset via Swiss Ephemeris using the city's coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) and then apply the festival's classical muhurta rule (Udaya Tithi (Sunrise)) to identify the auspicious window. Cities further east see earlier sunrise and thus earlier muhurat windows; cities at higher latitudes see broader daytime windows in summer.

This year Hariyali Teej falls on a Saturday, 19 days later than 2025 (2025-07-27) — typical lunar-calendar drift.

Falling on a Saturday brings a Shani emphasis — ancestral rites and black-sesame offerings carry extra weight, mitigating Shani's shadow.

The 2025 observance fell on Sunday, 2025-07-27 — this year arrives 19 days later in the Gregorian calendar, the Adhika-masa pattern when an intercalary lunar month pushes the cycle forward.

Looking ahead to 2027, Hariyali Teej will fall on Wednesday, 2027-08-04 (11 days earlier than this year). So planning ritual schedules across years means anchoring to the tithi rather than the Gregorian date.

Astronomical context for Hariyali Teej 2026

On Saturday, August 15, 2026, sunrise in Delhi (the reference city for this page) falls at 05:50 IST and sunset at 19:00 IST — a daylight span of 13h 10m. Across the six pan-Indian cities tabulated below, sunrise on this date varies from 05:13 (Kolkata) at the eastern edge to 06:19 (Mumbai) in the west — a 66-minute difference that drives the city-by-city muhurat shift you see in the table.

For Hariyali Teej 2026, the central rite of udaya tithi (sunrise) depends on the Shravana Shukla 3 being present during that window on 2026-08-15 — confirmed across 6 reference cities in this year's computation pass. Cities further east (Kolkata, Chennai) see the window open ~15-25 minutes before Delhi; cities west of Delhi (Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore) see it start later by a similar margin.

Vrat Phala (Fasting Benefits)

Hariyali Teej bestows long life and prosperity upon the husband, deepens the marital bond, and brings the blessings of Goddess Parvati for eternal saubhagya (marital bliss). Unmarried women gain the boon of a devoted, compatible husband.

Deity

Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva

Legend & History

Hariyali Teej celebrates the reunion of Goddess Parvati with Lord Shiva after her intense penance. According to the Shiva Purana, Parvati performed severe austerities for years, refusing food and water, to win Shiva as her husband. Pleased by her devotion, Shiva accepted her, and they were married during the monsoon season. The festival also celebrates the lush green (Hariyali) splendour of the rainy season.

How to Observe

Married women dress in green attire and new bangles, apply mehndi (henna), and ride decorated swings. They observe a nirjala (waterless) fast for the longevity of their husbands. Worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati with green leaves. Sing traditional Teej songs. Receive gifts (shringar) from their maternal home.

Significance

Hariyali Teej celebrates marital bliss, devotion, and the bond between husband and wife. It is one of the most important festivals for married Hindu women in North India. The green colour symbolizes fertility, renewal, and the joy of the monsoon season that brings life to the parched earth.

Fasting

Strict nirjala (waterless) fast observed by married women for the longevity of their husbands. Break fast the next morning after puja.
