| The Story of Satyavan and Savitri - A Tale of Love and Dedication | 27 Jun 2018 | 00:19:43 | |
The Story of Satyavan and Savitri is one of the many tales narrated in the Mahabharat. This is a story of love and dedication. According to legend, when Savitri\'s husband Satyavan died, Savitri tricked Lord Yam, the lord of death, and compelled him to bring her husband back to life. Therefore, married women in India observe Vat Savitri Vrat for well-being and long life of their husband. This Vrat, or fast, occurs in the months of May or early June, just before the arrival of the monsoons. Curiously enough, married women in Maharashtra, Gujarat and southern Indian states observe Vat Savitri Vrat 15 days later than that of North Indian women. In 2018, Maharashtra and Karnataka, this ceremony is observed on June 27th, the day we release this episode. If you like this story, please leave a review on your favourite podcasting app or website.
