The Story in Brief
Hariyali Teej 2026 will be celebrated on Saturday, August 15. According to Times Now, the festival marks the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, when married women fast and pray for marital bliss. The puja muhurat timings, however, differ between two reports: one lists Brahma Muhurat from 5:26 am to 6:05 am, while another gives 4:50 am to 5:35 am. Abhijit Muhurat is cited as 1:26 pm, 2:23 pm in one version and 12:17 pm, 1:08 pm in the other. The festival is observed in North Indian states with swings, green attire, and the tradition of sending sindhara gifts.
The Indian Opinion
The varying muhurat timings from different sources show how tradition adapts to regional calculations. Some see this as confusion, but it reflects the living, diverse nature of Hindu festivals. The real test of the day is not the exact minute of the puja, but whether the community comes together to celebrate the monsoon and the story of Shiva and Parvati. Will the festival's core spirit withstand the growing commercialisation of mehendi and swings?
