New Delhi, May 16: On the occasion of Vat Savitri Vrat, married women across the country performed rituals with deep devotion. In Delhi, at the Tughlaqabad Shiv Pracheen Temple and Shri Radha Krishna Temple, women conducted special prayers, wishing for the long life and prosperity of their husbands. The temples were bustling with devotees from early morning, creating a vibrant atmosphere of devotion.
In Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, the enthusiasm for Vat Savitri Vrat was equally notable. Women worshipped the banyan tree, tied sacred threads, and prayed for their husbands’ longevity, good health, and family happiness.
One woman shared that this vrat is linked to the tale of Savitri and Satyavan. Savitri’s unwavering love and devotion helped her reclaim her husband’s life from Yama, the god of death. This makes the vrat particularly significant for married women. They worship the banyan tree, symbolizing stability, longevity, and strength.
During the rituals, women bring offerings such as roli, kumkum, rice, soaked black gram, fruits, sweets, and other marital items. They circumambulate the banyan tree, wrapping raw thread around it while praying for their husbands’ long lives. Stories related to the vrat are also recited during this time.
In Nalanda district of Bihar, particularly in Bihar Sharif, women gathered to collectively worship the banyan tree, praying for their families’ prosperity. Similarly, in Banka district, women in villages and temples performed rituals, circumambulating the banyan tree with devotion.
Throughout Bihar, a spirit of devotion prevailed. Women adorned in traditional attire visited prayer sites, exchanging greetings for the vrat. Many places organized collective prayers, where women listened to stories and completed the vrat rituals together.
