Women worship the Vat (Banyan) tree, which symbolises immortality, while reciting the Vat Savitri Vrat Katha. It is believed that Savitri attained spiritual prowess through its shade during her encounter with Yama.

According to legend, great Savitri tricked Lord Yama, the lord of death, and compelled Him to return the life of her husband Satyawan. Hence, married women observe Vat Savitri Vrat for the well-being and long life of their husbands.
