#SAVITRI_BRATA Savitri Brata is observed by married women in Odisha and Eastern parts of India for the wellbeing of husbands. In 2018, the date of Savitri Brata is May 15. Savitri Vrata falls on the Amavasi or No moon day in the month of Jyeshta (April – May). This popular observance is based on the Savitri – Satyavan Legend in the Mahabharata. Legend has it that Savitri was able to rescue her husband, Satyavan, from the clutches of Yama, the god of death. She achieved this impossible task through sheer determination, courage and perseverance.
