वट सावित्रीVat Savitri
Also called Vat Purnima · Vata Savitri Vrat · Savitri Brata
A thread wound seven times round the banyan, for the day Sāvitrī followed Yama and argued her husband back.
When it falls
The new moon of Jyeṣṭha in the North and West; the full moon of the same month where the Pūrṇimānta reckoning is kept.
The tithi, not a date — the calendar date is a pañchāṅga reckoning and differs by region. Check your local pañchāṅga for this year.
The Reading
The Vaṭa Sāvitrī āratī at the tree, and the Maṅgala Gaurī texts that go with the vratas of the married.
