This year Hariyali Teej falls on a Sunday, 19 days later than 2028 (2028-07-24) — typical lunar-calendar drift.
Falling on a Sunday gives the day a Surya emphasis — Sun-ruled rites and copper offerings carry extra weight.
The 2028 observance fell on Monday, 2028-07-24 — 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 2030, Hariyali Teej will fall on Friday, 2030-08-02 (10 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 2029
On Sunday, August 12, 2029, sunrise in Delhi (the reference city for this page) falls at 05:48 IST and sunset at 19:03 IST — a daylight span of 13h 15m. Across the six pan-Indian cities tabulated below, sunrise on this date varies from 05:12 (Kolkata) at the eastern edge to 06:18 (Mumbai) in the west — a 66-minute difference that drives the city-by-city muhurat shift you see in the table.
For Hariyali Teej 2029, the central rite of udaya tithi (sunrise) depends on the Shravana Shukla 3 being present during that window on 2029-08-12 — 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.

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.
