About the festival
Hartalika Teej is a women's vow kept on the third day (Tritiya) of the bright half of Bhadrapada, in the late monsoon, usually the day before Ganesh Chaturthi (in some years the same day). Women fast, many without water, worship Parvati and Shiva in images shaped from sand or clay, hear the story of Parvati's devotion, and keep awake through the night.

Which rule sets the date of Hartalika Teej?
Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya, on the day it prevails at sunrise, even for less than a muhurta, where it meets Chaturthi. If it holds both sunrises, the second day, for the union with Ganesha's Chaturthi; if it holds no sunrise, the day it begins (Dharmasindhu). How we compute dates
The rule and its sources
Tradition: all traditions.
- Shukla Tritiya touches no sunrise this time: it begins after a sunrise and ends before the next one, so the day it begins is kept, joined with Dvitiya, as the Dharmasindhu says for this vrata.
Rule sources
- Wikipedia: Teej
- Dharmasindhu (Kashinatha Upadhyaya, 1790)
- Dharmasindhu of Kashinatha Upadhyaya (Bombay: Nirnaya Sagar Press, 1888), part 2, Bhadrapada, p. 55: the Haritalika vrata on Shukla Tritiya takes the later day even when Tritiya is there a muhurta or less; when it does not reach the later day (kshaya), the day joined with Dvitiya; when it is pure and longer, give up even the full first day and take the later, joined with Chaturthi, for the union with Ganesha's tithi
