The Story Behind

The legendary story is of Savitri and Satyavan. Satyavan was not granted to live long and one day he suddenly died while resting in Savitri’s lamp. Savitri refused to let go her husband with the messengers who came from Yama’s abode. Yama decided to go himself to take Satyavan’s soul. Savitri was still refusing and was aked to demand a boon. She asked her In-laws well being and granted. She was adamant and again asked to ask for a boon. She asked the well being of her parents and granted. She still followed Yama taking Satyavan’s body, again asked for a boon and she asked for a son this time and granted. She told the God of death that this boon will not be fulfilled without her husband. Yama was impressed with her devotion and realized her determination and love for her husband. He returned her husband to his body.
