Vat Savitri is dedicated to Savitri who saved her husband Satyavan, a prince in exile, from the God of Death, Yamraj himself. It is believed that she fought him very intellectually and also managed to bring her husband back from death. Eventually, it is believed that Savitri married a prince in exile and lived with him in the jungle.

One day while cutting wood, Satyavan’s head reeled and the Death God arrived to take him. Savitri told Yamraj if he takes her husband she would follow him too. Touched by this devotion, Yamraj decided to spare Savitri’s husband. 

Vat Savitri is widely celebrated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Gujrat, Bihar and Haryana. Vat Savitri is observed twice a year according to Hindu lunar calendars. As a part of the celebration, women tie a sacred thread around the Banyan tree and listen to the story of Savitri’s bravery.
