Hartalika Teej 2026 Update – If you are married and thinking of observing the fast of Hartalika Teej, then this news is very special for you. This year, i.e. in 2026, Hartalika Teej and Ganesh Chaturthi are falling on the same day. This coincidence is considered very special in itself. On this day, a rare combination of Ravi Yoga and Shukla Yoga is also taking place. That is, on one hand, women will keep Nirjala fast for the long life and unbroken good fortune of their husbands, while on the other hand, preparations to welcome Ganpati Bappa will also be in full swing.

Hartalika Teej: 13th September or 14th September?

According to the Hindu calendar, Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month will start at 7:08 am on September 13 and end at 7:06 am on September 14. In such a situation, there is confusion as to when the fast should be observed. According to the scriptures, the fast of Hartalika Teej is observed on the basis of Udayatithi, i.e. the date prevailing at the time of sunrise.

Tritiya Tithi will be present at the time of sunrise on 14th September, and after that, Chaturthi Tithi will start. In the scriptures, Tritiya Tithi, consisting of Chaturthi, is considered more auspicious for Hartalika Teej. Therefore, this year the fast of Hartalika Teej will be observed on Monday, 14 September 2026.

Hartalika Teej Puja Method: Worship like this

Hartalika Teej is considered to be the most difficult fast among the three major Teejs. On this day, women observe a Nirjala fast, i.e. do not consume food or water. The method of worship is something like this:

Early morning: Take a bath before sunrise and wear clean clothes. After this, meditate on Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati and resolve to fast. The resolution mantra is: ‘Uma Maheshwar Sayujya Siddhaye Haritalika Vratamahan Karishye’.

Puja material: For the puja, an idol or picture of Lord Shiva, Mother Parvati and Ganesh ji, Kalash, coconut, mango leaves, panchamrit, belpatra, sandalwood, akshat, roli, turmeric, vermillion, etc. are required.

Method of worship: First of all, remember Lord Ganesha because, in the Hindu religion, Ganesha is considered the first person to be worshipped. After this, worship Shiva and Parvati duly. It is believed that Mother Parvati had performed rigorous penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband. With this faith, women observe this fast and pray for the long life of their husband and prosperity of the family.

Night Vigil: On the day of fasting, keeping vigil at night and doing bhajan-kirtan is considered auspicious.

Parana: Parana can be done the next day on 15th September, after sunrise, i.e. after 6:06 am.

Why is this time’s Teej special?

This year, there is a combination of Ravi Yoga, Shukla Yoga and Hasta Nakshatra on Hartalika Teej. Apart from this, since Ganesh Chaturthi also falls on the same day, there will be an opportunity to worship Shiva, Parvati and Ganapati together. In the scriptures, Tritiya Tithi coinciding with Chaturthi is considered especially fruitful.

So if you too are going to observe the fast of Hartalika Teej this time, then make preparations from now. A fast observed with faith and belief definitely bears fruit.
