Teej comes with the melodies of folk songs, the fragrance of mehendi, and the excitement of putting on new clothes, wearing green and red bangles, and doing Shringar. It is a day of fasting, worship, praying to Gauri Shankar in silence, singing geet and worshiping Gauri Shankar. Through all the rituals of singing, dancing and smiling, the life of any women makes round on the rhythm of Teej. It is not only a gala but it is an active narration, the story of love, care and legacy.
Hariyali Teej is not a festival but a history of patience, strength, and undying faith. In Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati performed severe penance over several years in a bid to earn the love and acceptance of lord Shiva. She made numerous prayers and was extremely devoted to her deity and finally found her answers when Shiva became her partner Why is Haryali Teej so special?
What makes Teej even more special in 2025 is that this will come in the middle of the season of Shravan, when the feeling of devotion is at its highest. The monsoon at full blush, in the greenery of nature, the devotional songs that echo in different houses add to the soul of the festival. It is no longer a mere tradition that women observe, but their way of getting back to history, which preaches inner strength, loyalty, and sweet femininity. We are an evolving culture and Teej reminds us to stop running and stop to think with reverence to the force, which is symbolised in love and prayers. When is Hariyali Teej?

This Man's 5 Wives And 11 Kids Rush To Kiss Him As He Returns Home, Viral Video Divides Internet
Last Updated: A man living with five wives and 11 children shares how their unusual family dynamic works and it goes viral In Hindu society, marriage is traditionally viewed as a lifelong commitment, meant to last for seven lifetimes. It is expected that men and women remain with a single partner throughout their lives. However, in different parts of the world, not everyone abides by monogamy. There are cases where a woman may live with three male partners, or a man might have two or more wives under one roof. The Barrett Family's Unconventional Life Today, we highlight a family that breaks the mould. In this unique household, one husband lives with five wives, and together they are raising 11 children. The husband, whose identity has been made public via social media, recently opened up about their lifestyle and expressed his happiness in this arrangement. He stated that his wives engage in what he called 'healthy competition' to win his attention. Known collectively as the Barrett family, they practise polygamy, and the women refer to themselves as 'sister wives'. How Their Relationship Works The Barrett wives – Jess, Gabby, Diana, Cam, and Star – frequently post about their lifestyle on social media, proudly sharing moments from their family life. One particular video on Instagram went viral, drawing over 27.7 million views. Watch the viral video here. Going Viral: A Video That Sparked Debate In the now-famous video, the wives are seen dropping their chores the moment their husband returns home. Whether cleaning, washing dishes, fixing the sofa, or holding a child, they all stop immediately, rushing to be the first to kiss him. The clip, though shared in fun, gives insight into the family's dynamics and drew massive attention online. Public Reactions Are Divided The video attracted thousands of comments, sparking a wide range of responses. One user wrote, 'I may never get such a relationship". Another commented, 'My soul trembled after seeing this". Some found it troubling, with remarks like, 'Being poly is one thing, but being the only man in a relationship with five women is definitely suspicious". Despite mixed reactions, the wives maintain their belief in polyamory. They argue that sharing a faithful partner is better than being with a man who cheats or constantly changes relationships. They also insist they have no interest in other men and are perfectly content sharing one husband. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
