Vat Savitri 2027 dates
Vat Savitri Amavasya: Fri, 4 June 2027 · Vat Purnima: Fri, 18 June 2027
Vat Savitri is kept on two different days depending on the calendar your family follows. In the Purnimanta calendar of North India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi) it falls on Jyeshtha Amavasya; in the Amanta regions of Maharashtra, Gujarat and South India it is Vat Purnima, on Jyeshtha Purnima. 2027 has no Adhik month, so the two observances are two weeks apart.
| Observance | Date | Tithi (New Delhi, IST) |
|---|---|---|
| Vat Savitri Vrat (Amavasya) | Friday, 4 June 2027 | Amavasya 4:05 AM (4 Jun) – 1:09 AM (5 Jun) |
| Vat Purnima Vrat | Friday, 18 June 2027 | Purnima 4:34 AM (18 Jun) – 6:13 AM (19 Jun) |
Shani Jayanti also falls on Jyeshtha Amavasya, 4 June 2027.
Significance
The vrat honours Savitri, who, according to the Mahabharata’s account, followed Yama and through her devotion and wisdom won back the life of her husband Satyavan. Married women fast and worship the banyan (vat) tree, which is associated with longevity and with the Trimurti, praying for their husband’s long life and family well-being.
Vrat vidhi
- Fast from sunrise; dress in festive clothes and gather puja items: water, roli, rice, flowers, soaked chana, fruits and raw cotton thread.
- Worship the banyan tree, offer water at its roots and wind raw thread around the trunk while walking around it (often 7 or 108 times).
- Listen to or read the Savitri–Satyavan katha and seek blessings from elders.
