Mehndi is considered a symbol of Suhaag (married bliss) and is one of the 16 adornments, making it very auspicious. For your first Hariyali Teej fast, applying mehndi is especially recommended.
Wear Green Clothes: On Hariyali Teej, it is customary to wear green. Prepare a green saree, suit, or lehenga in advance for the puja.
Keep Nirjala Vrat: Observe a Nirjala Vrat (fast without water) throughout the day. After the evening puja, break your fast by offering Arghya to the moon after moonrise. If you cannot keep a Nirjala Vrat, you may opt for a fruit diet instead.
Perform Sixteen Adornments: On Hariyali Teej, adorn yourself like a bride with the sixteen traditional adornments (Solah Shringar). This practice is believed to bring happiness to married life and invoke the blessings of Mother Parvati.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a successful and fulfilling observance of Hariyali Teej.
