Mumbai: Vat Savitri Vrat holds immense significance for married Hindu women, particularly in North India. Observed with deep devotion and faith, this ritualistic fast is performed for the well-being, longevity, and prosperity of one’s husband. Women worship the sacred banyan tree (Vat Vriksha) on this day, inspired by the legendary tale of Savitri and Satyavan — a story that epitomises love, devotion, and unwavering commitment in marriage.
According to Hindu belief, worshipping the banyan tree during the auspicious muhurat (timing) on Vat Savitri Vrat grants women the blessing of akhand saubhagya — an unbroken married life filled with prosperity. The vrat is observed annually on Amavasya Tithi (new moon) in the month of Jyeshtha, and preparations begin well in advance as women adorn themselves and perform traditional puja rituals at the base of the banyan tree.

Rare Celestial Alignments on Vat Savitri Vrat 2025
This year, Vat Savitri Vrat coincides with Somvati Amavasya — a rare and highly auspicious occurrence when Amavasya falls on a Monday. This alignment is believed to multiply the spiritual benefits of the fast. Adding to its potency, Shani Jayanti will also be observed on the same day, enhancing the spiritual significance of the occasion.
Astrologically, the Moon will reside in Taurus (Vrishabh Rashi), while powerful yoga formations such as Budhaditya Yoga, Malavya Yoga, and Trigrahi Yoga will occur. These combinations are known to strengthen the spiritual and material outcomes of rituals performed during this period.
Spiritual Significance of Vat Savitri Vrat
The fast is deeply rooted in the mythology of Savitri, who through her unwavering faith and determination, brought her husband Satyavan back to life from the clutches of death. Hence, Vat Savitri Vrat symbolises feminine strength, marital devotion, and spiritual power.
Women worship the Vat tree, as it is believed to be the abode of the Hindu Trinity — Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Mahesh (the destroyer). Performing this vrat is said to foster harmony in marital relationships, deepen mutual love, and even bless devotees with children. It remains a beautiful expression of sacred feminine strength in Hindu tradition.
