**North Indian Women to Observe Vat Savitri Pujan on May 26 for Husband’s Longevity**

**[City, Date]** – Married women in North India are preparing to observe Vat Savitri Pujan on Monday, May 26, 2025, a festival dedicated to the longevity and well-being of their husbands. The festival is celebrated with great devotion and involves tying threads around a Banyan (Vat) tree while praying for a long and prosperous life for their spouses.

According to astrologer PK Yug, women will perform the Pujan under the auspicious Bharani and Kritika Nakshatras and the Shobhana and Atiganda Yogas, seeking blessings for their husbands’ health, prosperity, and good fortune. The worship will include prayers to the Hindu trinity – Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh – who are believed to reside within the Banyan tree.

The legend of Vat Savitri revolves around Savitri, who, according to mythology, saved her husband Satyavan from the clutches of Yama, the God of Death, under a Banyan tree.

Adding to the auspiciousness, the day also coincides with Somvati Amavasya (a new moon falling on a Monday), providing additional merit to the fasting women. This observance is believed to pacify any inauspicious or harmful planetary influences affecting their husbands.

**Puja Samagri (Worship Materials):**

Key items required for the Vat Savitri Vrat include idols of Savitri and Satyavan, incense, lamps, ghee, a bamboo fan, red thread (kalava), items of marital adornment (suhag ka saman), raw cotton thread, Banyan fruit, a water-filled kalash (pot), and a plate.

**Auspicious Timings (Muhurat):**

* **Amavasya Tithi Begins:** May 26th, 12:11 PM
* **Amavasya Tithi Ends:** May 27th, 08:31 AM
* **Krittika Nakshatra:** May 26th, 8:23 AM to May 27th, 5:32 AM

The most auspicious time for the puja is during the Abhijit Muhurat, which falls between 11:20 AM and 12:14 PM on Monday.

Following the puja, women traditionally fan their husbands with a bamboo fan, symbolizing the removal of hardships.
