Hartalika Teej

Wake early, bathe, and set up a clean altar. Place idols or images of Shiva and Parvati. Offer bel leaves, flowers, fruits, and sweets. Observe nirjala fast (if following). Chant Parvati-Shiva mantras and read the Hartalika Teej katha. Conclude with aarti and distribute prasad in the evening.
