The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
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.
Women fast and wind thread around a banyan (vat) tree while circling it, retelling Savitri’s argument with Death.

No. Vat Savitri is on May 26, 2025 in Phoenix but May 27, 2025 in India. The tithi begins at one moment worldwide, and that moment lands on a different local day in each place.
Vat Savitri is also known as Vat Purnima, Vat Savitri Vrat, Savitri Amavasya. These are regional names and spellings for the same festival.
