Vat Savitri Vrat, a significant festival in Hinduism, is celebrated on May 16, 2026. This day honors the legendary tale of Savitri, who is revered for her unwavering devotion that brought her husband back from death. The vrat, observed by married women, focuses on seeking a long and healthy married life. The Amavasya tithi begins at 5:11 AM and ends at 1:30 AM on May 17, but the fasting is marked on May 16 based on sunrise timing. Important auspicious timings include the Brahma Muhurat from 4:07 AM to 4:48 AM and the Abhijit Muhurat from 11:50 AM to 12:45 PM. Rituals involve worshipping the banyan tree (Vat Vriksha), which symbolizes longevity. Women prepare a puja thali with essentials and perform rituals by offering water, vermillion, and flowers to the tree. Listening to the Savitri-Satyavan katha is also an integral part of the observance. The fast is broken in the evening after offering prayers and consuming prasad.
