Uttar Pradesh: Devotees take holy bath in Sangam on occasion of Vat Savitri Vrat in Prayagraj
Devotees took bath and performed puja on the occasion of Vat Savitri Vrat. As per the Hindu Vedic Calendar, Vrat Savitri Puja is celebrated every year on Jyeshtha Amavasya. This fast is observed by married Hindu women for the well-being and long life of their husbands. On this day, married women worship the banyan tree, which is a symbol of Lord Vishnu and pray for the long life of their husband.
This festival is dedicated to Devi Savitri, a brave woman who compelled Yama Raj to give a new lease of life to her dead husband, Satyawan.
