Significance: Why is Jyeshtha Purnima Important?

1. Vat Savitri Vrat (Purnimanta)

In many regions (like Maharashtra and South India), married women observe the Vat Savitri Vrat on Jyeshtha Purnima. They tie a ceremonial thread around a Banyan (Vat) tree, praying for the long life of their husbands, just as Savitri saved Satyavan.

2. Jyeshthabhishek (Snan Yatra)

This day is also celebrated as the “Snan Yatra” of Lord Jagannath in Puri. The deities are bathed with 108 pots of herbal water, marking the beginning of the preparation for the Rath Yatra.

3. Seasonal Significance

Jyeshtha is often the hottest month. Therefore, acts of charity involving water (Jal Daan), umbrellas, and fans are considered highly meritorious to relieve others from the heat.

Rituals: How to Observe at Home?

1. Holy Bath (Ganga Snan)

If you cannot visit the Ganges, mix a few drops of Gangajal in your bath water at home. Chant “Om Namo Narayana” while bathing to purify your soul.

2. Satyanarayan Puja

Reciting the Satyanarayan Katha on Purnima evening is the most powerful remedy for household peace. Offer “Sheera” (Semolina Halwa) as Prasad.

3. Vat Savitri Puja (For Women)

Women should dress in bridal finery, visit a Banyan tree, offer water, kumkum, and fruits, and circumambulate the tree 108 or 7 times while chanting prayers for their husband.
