Vat Savitri Vrat: A Special Fast for Married Women in Hinduism

Vat Savitri Vrat has special significance for married women in Hinduism. This fast is observed with the wish of Akhand Saubhagya, long life of the husband and a happy married life. This year due to the influence of calendar calculation and Adhik Maas, some changes have been seen regarding the dates of Vat Savitri Vrat. Let us know when Vat Saptami (Bada Satay) and Vat Purnima will be celebrated this year. According to religious beliefs, Vat Savitri Vrat is observed in the month of Jyestha. This year due to the arrival of Adhik Maas (Malmas) in the month of Jyestha, there has been a difference in the order of dates. After Amavasya, there was a period of Adhik Maas, after which the Shukla Paksha of Jyestha started again. For this reason, according to tradition, this year, the dates of Vat Saptami and Vat Purnima have been extended beyond the usual time. The Saptami Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Jyestha month is known as Vat Saptami or Bada Satay. Women in many regions also observe Vat Saptami
