Vat Pournima

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vat Pournima is a celebration observed in Maharashtra, India. Pournima means "full moon" and is celebrated on this day in June. Women pray for their husbands by tying threads around a banyan tree on this day. It honours Savitri, the legendary wife who escaped death for her husband's life.
