According to a legend, Mata Parvati did a hard austerity to get God Lord Shiva as her husband. On the banks of river Ganges of the Himalayas, Mother Parvati remained hungry and thirsty and practiced austerity. Seeing this situation of Mata Parvati, her father Himalaya was very sad. One day, Maharishi Narad came with Lord Vishnu’s proposal to marry Parvati but when Mata Parvati came to know about this, she started mourning.
On the question of her friend, she said that she is doing harsh austerity to get Lord Shiva in the form of a husband. After this, Mother Parvati went to the forest on the advice of her friend and got absorbed in Lord Shiva’s worship. During this period, on the third day of the Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapad, Mata Parvati constructed the Shivling from the sand and awakened the whole night in the worship of Lord Shiva. Seeing the austerity of Mata Parvati, Lord Shiva appeared to her and accepted her as a wife. From then on, the wish of a good husband and longevity for the husband, virgin girl and fortunate women fasten the Hartalika Teej and receive blessings by worshiping Lord Shiva and mother Parvati.
