    Overview

    Hartalika Teej Puja for families in Sarnath

    Hartalika Teej falls on Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya and is observed widely in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. It remembers Goddess Parvati's tapasya to win Lord Shiva as her husband, and the story of her companions who took her to the forest, which gives the vrat its name.

    Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

    Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.

    O Lord with the curved trunk and mighty form, radiant as a million suns, remove the obstacles from all my undertakings, always.Traditional Ganesha prayer
