When Is Vat Purnima In 2025? Know Date, Puja Timing, Significance, And More
Vat Purnima is dedicated to the sacred banyan tree (Vat Vriksha) and is primarily observed in states like Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat.
Vat Purnima Vrat 2025: Vat Purnima Vrat is a significant festival observed twice a year by married Hindu women—once on the Amavasya (new moon) of the Jyeshtha month and again on the Purnima (full moon). The fast observed on the full moon is popularly known as Vat Purnima Vrat, and holds deep religious significance, especially for married women praying for the long life and well-being of their husbands.
Although Purnima is traditionally associated with the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, Vat Purnima is dedicated to the sacred banyan tree (Vat Vriksha) and is primarily observed in states like Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat. Women perform special rituals under the banyan tree, seeking marital bliss and their husband’s longevity.

Rituals Performed On Vat Purnima:
According to legend, on this day, the devoted wife Savitri brought her husband Satyavan back to life from the clutches of Lord Yama (the god of death). His lifeless body was placed under a banyan tree, where Savitri performed penance and prayed with unshakable devotion. Since then, the Vat Vriksha (banyan tree) is worshipped on this day as a symbol of longevity and eternal love.
Women observe a strict fast and offer prayers to the banyan tree. They tie raw threads (kacha soot) around the tree while circling it seven times, symbolising their prayers for a strong marital bond for seven lifetimes. They also donate cosmetics and traditional adornments to other married women, known as suhaag items, as a gesture of goodwill and devotion.
