Vat Savitri Vrat is kept by married women for the long life and wellbeing of their husbands, remembering Savitri, whose wisdom and devotion won back her husband Satyavan's life. In North India it falls on Jyeshtha Amavasya; in Maharashtra, Gujarat and much of the South it is kept as Vat Purnima on Jyeshtha Purnima.

When
In the morning on Jyeshtha Amavasya (North India) or Jyeshtha Purnima (Vat Purnima in Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South); complete the puja before noon.
Fast
Many women keep a fast from morning until after the puja, some nirjala and some with fruit; if you are pregnant, unwell, elderly or diabetic, consult your doctor; a phalahar fast is fine.

The story of Savitri and Satyavan

Savitri was the wise and lovely daughter of King Ashwapati. When it was time to marry, she chose Satyavan, a kind young man who lived in the forest caring for his blind father, a king who had lost his kingdom. Sage Narad warned her that Satyavan would live only one more year, but Savitri held to her choice. She married him and lived happily in the forest, quietly fasting as the fateful day came near. On that day she went with Satyavan to cut wood. He felt faint, lay his head in her lap beneath a banyan tree, and passed away. Then Yamaraj, the lord of death, came to take his soul. Savitri followed him. Yamaraj told her to turn back, but she kept walking, speaking such wise and gentle words about dharma that he was pleased and offered her boons, anything but Satyavan's life. She asked for her father-in-law's sight and kingdom, then for her father to have sons, and finally to be the mother of Satyavan's children. Yamaraj granted it, then smiled, realising that the last wish could only come true if Satyavan lived. He returned his life. Under the banyan tree, Satyavan awoke.

सावित्री राजा अश्वपति की बुद्धिमान और सुंदर बेटी थीं। जब विवाह का समय आया, तो उन्होंने सत्यवान को चुना, जो एक दयालु युवक थे और जंगल में अपने अंधे पिता की सेवा करते थे, जिनका राज्य छिन गया था। नारद मुनि ने चेताया कि सत्यवान की आयु केवल एक साल बची है, पर सावित्री अपने फ़ैसले पर अडिग रहीं। उन्होंने सत्यवान से विवाह किया और जंगल में खुशी से रहने लगीं। जैसे-जैसे वह दिन पास आया, वे चुपचाप व्रत करने लगीं। उस दिन वे सत्यवान के साथ लकड़ी काटने गईं। सत्यवान को चक्कर आया, उन्होंने बरगद के पेड़ के नीचे सावित्री की गोद में सिर रखा और प्राण छोड़ दिए। तब यमराज उनके प्राण लेने आए। सावित्री उनके पीछे-पीछे चल पड़ीं। यमराज ने लौटने को कहा, पर वे चलती रहीं और धर्म के बारे में इतनी समझदारी और विनम्रता से बातें कीं कि यमराज प्रसन्न हो गए और सत्यवान के प्राणों के अलावा कोई भी वर माँगने को कहा। उन्होंने पहले ससुर की आँखें और राज्य माँगा, फिर अपने पिता के लिए पुत्र, और अंत में सत्यवान की संतानों की माँ बनने का वर माँगा। यमराज ने वर दे दिया, फिर मुस्कुराए, क्योंकि यह वर तभी पूरा हो सकता था जब सत्यवान जीवित हों। उन्होंने सत्यवान के प्राण लौटा दिए और बरगद के नीचे सत्यवान जाग उठे।
