Somvati Amavasya 2025: Know the date, timings, rituals, significance and more
Somvati Amavasya 2025: On Monday, May 26, thousands of devotees from all over the country gathered at Haridwar ghats early this morning to take a sacred bath in the Ganga to perform sacred rituals of Somvati Amavasya, ANI reported. Somvati Amavasya holds significance in Hindu tradition, during which devotees engage in bathing, charitable acts, ancestral rituals, fasting, and worship of Lord Shiva. According to the scriptures, performing these rituals is deemed especially significant on this day, as it is believed to bestow good luck and prosperity, in addition to leading to salvation. On this day, offering tarpan to our ancestors is believed to bring peace to their souls and alleviate Pitra Dosh. Coincidentally, this year, married women are observing a fast, known as Vat Savitri Vrat, which is intended to ensure the long life and good fortune of their husbands. Somvati Amavasya, the full moon falling on Mondays, is marked to honour ancestors, and this year, it is being marked on Monday, May 26, 2025, and will begin from 12:11 pm on May 26 to 8:31 am on May 27, as stated in Drik Panchang.

Vat Savitri Vrat 2025: Know the date, timings, vrat katha, significance and more
Vat Savitri Vrat 2025: Vat Savitri Vrat, an auspicious fasting festival, is primarily marked by married Hindu women in Maharashtra and North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Bihar. Although both regions celebrate it on different dates in the Purnimant and Amant calendars. According to the Purnimant calendar, it will be observed on Jyeshtha Amavasya, falling on Monday, May 26, with the Amavasya period starting at 12:11 PM and ending on May 27 at 08:31 AM. Conversely, in the Amant calendar, the festival is celebrated on Jyeshtha Purnima, also referred to as Vat Purnima Vrat, occurring on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, according to Drik Panchang. This 15-day difference in observance between regions such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and the southern states versus North India results in women in these areas celebrating the festival at distinct times, although the mythological story and significance remain the same. On this auspicious occasion, women worship the vat vriksh, which is the banyan tree, symbolising health and longevity for their husbands, engage in a strict fast and recite the mythological story of Savitri and Satyavan. According to Hindu mythology, Savitri, through her intense devotion to Yama, the god of death, compelled him to restore her husband Satyavan's life, which is why, through the observance of Vat Savitri Vrat, women seek the well-being and long life of their spouses. For those interested in the full vrat katha (the fasting story) and its significance in Hindi, resources like Jansatta or Drik Panchang are available for reference.
