Hartalika, is derived from two Sanskrit words Harat and Aalika. Hartalika, meaning the abduction of a friend.

According to the legend associated with the festival of Hartalika Teej, it is said that Goddess Parvati wanted to marry Lord Shiva, but her father accepted Lord Vishnu’s marriage proposal.

In order to escape from this, Goddess Parvati had asked one of her friends to help her hide in an isolated place in a dense forest. With this, Devi Parvati who had earlier performed intense penance to please Lord Shiva, succeeded in winning Lord Shiva’s heart.

So on this day, the clay idols of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati are prepared and married women offer prayers for a blissful married life, while unmarried girls wish for a companion of their liking.
