 Vat Savitri & your beliefs
Hi ladies, I'd like to share the celebration mood of Vat Savitri Vrat in Ahmedabad.
 On the occasion of Vat Savitri the women pray for the long life of their husbands. The long threads are tied around the Banyan tree. Banyan tree is symbolic of long life.
The festival has deep roots in Indian folklore and is based on the unflagging devotion that Savitri, the daughter of King Ashwapati of Madra Desa had for her husband Satyavan in the Mahabharat.
Do you celebrate Vat Savitri in your city? How strong are your faith in this festival? |
