On this day, married women observe a fast and perform rituals to seek blessings for their husband’s health and long life.
Mythological Significance Of This Day:
The vrat is deeply rooted in the legend of Sati Savitri, a devoted wife who used her wisdom and persuasive speech to compel Lord Yama, the God of Death, to return the life of her husband Satyavan. This tale of unwavering love and determination is why the vrat is regarded as highly auspicious for married women.
What If You Can’t Find a Banyan Tree?
Worship of the Vat Vriksha (Banyan tree) is an essential part of the Vat Savitri Vrat. However, if a real banyan tree is not available, women can bring a banyan twig a day before and perform the rituals with devotion at home. If even a twig cannot be arranged, the Tulsi plant can be symbolically worshipped as the Vat tree, provided all rituals are followed with sincerity and devotion.
