Hartalika Teej 2024 Date: Will Fast Be Observed on September 5 or 6? Here's What Astrologer Says – News18

As Hartalika Teej approaches, many are seeking clarity on whether the auspicious day falls on September 5 or 6 this year. The confusion arises because the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month, which is essential for Hartalika Teej, spans both days.

Astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt from Kashi provides guidance on the correct date and Puja Muhurta for Hartalika Teej. According to the Panchang, Tritiya Tithi begins at 12:21 PM on September 5 and continues until 3:01 PM on September 6.

To determine the most auspicious time for the fast, the Udayati Tithi, which is based on sunrise, is used. Therefore, for those observing the fast, it is important to adhere to the Udayati Tithi to ensure proper observance of the festival.
