Significance of Green Color in Hinduism

In Sanatan Dharma, green colour is considered a symbol of happiness, peace, greenery, progress and good health. Therefore, there is a tradition of wearing green clothes on Hariyali Teej, which has been going on for a long time.

Green Color connection with Sawan

The festival of Hariyali Teej falls in the month of Sawan. As soon as Sawan begins, greenery spreads all around.

It is also believed that by wearing green clothes and worshipping, Shiv-Parvati (Shiv Parvati) also becomes happy.

Mercury color is green
