Vat Savitri Vrat 2025 | Why is raw cotton wrapped 7 times during Vat Savitri fast?

In this fast, worship of banyan tree is important. It is said that on the day of Jyeshtha Amavasya, Yamraj had revived Satyavar of Goddess Savitri under the banyan tree. This tree is considered to be renewable, because it never decays. This is the reason why the Vat tree is worshiped in this fast.

At the time of Vat Savitri fast, Suhagin women wrap raw yarn around the trunk of the banyan tree during the puja. It is considered to be a sign of the unbreakable bond of seven births of husband and wife, so raw cotton is wrapped on the banyan seven times so that seven births in marital life are maintained.

After worshiping the Vat tree, one should also recite the Savitri-Satyavan Katha and wish the husband a long life. In this way, women get good luck by worshiping on the day of Vat Savitri fast.

If the tree of Vat is not found on the day, then bring the banyan tree to a pot and then worship it at home.

Brahma resides in the root of the banyan tree, Lord Vishnu in the stem and Lord Shiva on the branches. Its branches are considered a symbol of mother Savitri. Its worship gives the blessings of Tridev.

Due to Monday, May 26, on the eldest Amavasya, a good fortune will also become a coincidence of Amavasya. In such a situation, the combination of Vat Savitri fast will be beneficial for women on this day.
