Same Savitri–Satyavan story: devotion at the vat (banyan) tree for a husband’s long life. The name “Vat” means the banyan tree, not “vrat” misspelled.
Regional notes
Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal: Primary date is Jyeshtha Amavasya — often called Savitri Amavasya or Vat Savitri Amavasya.
Maharashtra & Gujarat: The same observance is typically on Jyeshtha Purnima instead — see “Vat Purnima” in the calendar.
Border regions: Whether the tithi is taken at sunrise or moonrise can shift the day by one — check your local panchang or temple.
Note: Shani Jayanti also falls on this Amavasya in the calendar; your family may emphasize one or both.
How it is celebrated
Married women observe fast, worship a banyan tree or its symbolic stand-in, tie thread, and hear the katha — especially in North Indian households.
Puja timing
Jyeshtha Krishna Amavasya — new moon day; morning puja at the vat tree (some regions use the previous evening — verify locally).
