I have never heard about Savitri's story before. But now I could get some knowledge about it. Eventually, through Savitri's love and dedication, she was able to fulfill her prayers to the dying God.

All the married women observe Savitri Puja on the new moon day of the Jyeshtha month in Hindu calendar, by fasting, praying for long life of their husband.

This custom of many married Hindu women fasting and honoring their masters is truly important today. It also enhances family unity and love. Wishing the husband a long life is an expression of the true love in a woman's heart.
