Savitri Brata on Odisha

Sabitri Brata, also known as Savitri Brata, is a significant observance for married women in the Indian state of Odisha. It is a fasting ritual dedicated to Goddess Sabitri, who symbolizes marital bliss and longevity. In 2024, Sabitri Brata will be observed on the 6th of June, according to the Odia calendar.

On this auspicious day, married women undertake a rigorous fast from sunrise to sunset to seek the well-being and longevity of their husbands. They adorn themselves in traditional attire and jewelry and perform rituals with utmost devotion. The fasting women tie a sacred thread called "Sabitri Bandha" around their wrists, representing their marital bond and protection.

Sabitri Brata Katha

The story(katha) of Savitri and Yama is about a virtuous princess named Savitri who falls in love with Satyavan, a prince with a short life span. Despite knowing this, Savitri marries him and, when the predicted day of Satyavan's death arrives, she observes a fast and prays for his well-being. When Yama, the god of death, arrives to take Satyavan's soul, Savitri follows him and impresses him with her devotion. She cleverly asks for boons, ultimately gaining Satyavan's life back. The story highlights Savitri's unwavering love and determination, teaching us the power of devotion and the triumph of love over death.
