Vat Savitri Vrat 2025 Date: When is Vata Savitri Amavasya & Purnima Vrat - Know Muhurat timing, Rituals and Significance

The sacred Vat Savitri Vrat 2025 is a highly significant Hindu festival, especially for married women, who observe this fast to pray for the well-being and long life of their husbands. This vrat is celebrated across India, but the date and timing vary depending on the lunar calendar followed—either Amanta or Purnimanta. Here's a detailed guide on Vat Savitri Amavasya and Vat Purnima Vrat, their dates, muhurat timings, rituals, and spiritual significance.

Vat Savitri Vrat 2025 Date and Time 

In most Hindu traditions, festivals fall on the same day whether one follows the Amanta lunar calendar or the Purnimanta lunar calendar. However, Vat Savitri Vrat is a notable exception.

• Purnimanta Calendar (followed in North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh): Vat Savitri Vrat is observed on Jyeshtha Amavasya (May 26, 2025), which also coincides with Shani Jayanti.
• Amanta Calendar (prevalent in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South Indian states): The vrat, also called Vat Purnima Vrat, is observed on Jyeshtha Purnima (June 10, 2025).

Thus, married women in North India observe the vrat 15 days earlier than their counterparts in Western and Southern India. Despite the difference in dates, the rituals and devotion remain identical.

Significance of Vat Savitri Vrat

Vat Savitri Vrat commemorates the immense devotion and intelligence of Devi Savitri, who brought her husband Satyawan back from the clutches of death. According to Hindu mythology, Savitri’s unwavering determination and dialogue with Lord Yama (the God of Death) resulted in her husband’s life being restored.

This story makes Vat Savitri Vrat a powerful symbol of marital love, strength, and spiritual faith. On this day, married women tie threads around the banyan (Vat) tree, offer prayers, and fast, seeking the longevity and prosperity of their husbands.

Key Rituals of Vat Savitri Vrat

• Women observe a day-long fast, some without water (nirjala vrat).
• Early morning rituals include bathing, wearing traditional attire, and adorning themselves with sindoor and bangles.
• A banyan tree (Vat Vriksha) is worshipped using wet thread, kumkum, turmeric, and flowers.
• The Savitri-Satyawan story is recited, and devotees offer paan, seasonal fruits, and sweets to the tree.
• In some regions, women also prepare sattu (a mix of roasted gram flour and sugar) as part of the offering.

Whether observed on Amavasya or Purnima, Vat Savitri Vrat 2025 is a sacred and heartfelt celebration of love, faith, and commitment in marriage. This year, mark your calendar for May 26 or June 10, depending on your tradition, and observe the fast with complete devotion, just like Devi Savitri did centuries ago.
