Hariyali Amavasya 2025 Date

About Hariyali Amavasya

The Shravana new-moon when Vrindavan dresses its Banke Bihari in a Phool Bangla — a pavilion built entirely from fresh monsoon flowers. Three days before Hariyali Teej, devotees throng Mathura's Dwarkadhish and Vrindavan for this darshan, while Rajasthan and Haryana mark the day by planting saplings.

The Phool Bangla at Banke Bihari is the day's signature sight. Through Sawan, the deity is enthroned inside a fresh canopy of roses, jasmine and marigolds — rebuilt daily by sevayats — and Hariyali Amavasya is when it draws the largest crowds. In Mewar, Udaipur holds a three-day Hariyali Amavasya Mela on the banks of Fateh Sagar lake, a tradition begun in 1898 by Maharana Fateh Singh to mark the lake's completion; the first day is reserved for the royal family, the next two for the public. Across Rajasthan and the Gangetic plain, families plant peepal, banyan, neem or amla saplings — the new moon in the rain month is seen as the best soil-and-sky moment of the year. Shiva temples also draw worshippers, since the day falls in his sacred month of Sawan.
