Vat Purnima observed on June 29 emphasizes marital blessings and prosperity

Vat Purnima, a Hindu observance for married women, is being celebrated on June 29, 2026. Devotees perform puja at a banyan (vat) tree, offering water, flowers, fruits, and tying cloth around the trunk while reciting the Savitri‑Satyavan story. The day is also marked by charitable donations and the offering of traditional sukhag items such as sindoor and bangles. Astrological calculations indicate two auspicious yogas—Brahma and Abhijit—during the morning hours, which believers say multiply the merit earned from the rites. According to tradition, worshipping the vat tree, regarded as the abode of the Trimurti, brings long life for the husband, family harmony, and material prosperity.

The festival is primarily observed in India, where it is considered especially beneficial for the well‑being of married couples and their households.
