What is Vat Savitri?

Vat Savitri commemorates Savitri, who followed Yama to reclaim her husband’s life. Married women keep it on the new moon closing Vaishakha in the north, and on the following full moon in Maharashtra and Gujarat — the same story, two reckonings.

How it is observed

Women fast and wind thread around a banyan (vat) tree while circling it, retelling Savitri’s argument with Death.
