How the date is determined
- In the Amanta system (months end at the new moon) this is Vaishakha Krishna Paksha Amavasya; in the Purnimanta system used in most of North India (months end at the full moon) the same day is called Jyeshtha Krishna Paksha Amavasya.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails during Aparahna — the fourth fifth of the daytime, in the afternoon.
- If the tithi prevails at that time on two consecutive days, the day on which it covers more of that period is taken.
- If the tithi does not touch that period on any day (a kshaya tithi), the Hindu day on which the tithi prevails longest is used.
- In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.
Traditional variation
North Indian date: the day with Amavasya in the afternoon (Aparahna), as the Rashtriya Panchang (Government of India) prints it (6 June 2024, 26 May 2025, 16 May 2026); it can be the day before Shani Jayanti when Amavasya begins around midday (e.g. 26 May 2025). When Amavasya begins in the afternoon and covers the whole of the next day's Aparahna (e.g. 29/30 May 2022), this rule gives the second day (30 May), while almanacs that keep the Chaturdashi-joined (bhutaviddha) Amavasya Nirnaya Sindhu allows for the Savitri vrata give the first (29 May). Odisha keeps Savitri Amavasya on the day of Amavasya at sunrise (27 May 2025), listed separately. In Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka the vrat is kept on Jyeshtha Purnima (Vat Purnima).
This is the date given by the rule shown above for the selected place. It is not the only valid date: regional Panchangs, family customs and sampradayas may observe it on a different day.
Rule source: North Indian Savitri-vrata on Jyeshtha Amavasya (Purnimanta): the Amavasya at Aparahna (the 4th fifth of the daytime); on two days, the greater coverage (Nirnaya Sindhu, Pariccheda 1, karmakala-vyapti), as the Rashtriya Panchang (IMD) daily pages print it, "वट सावित्री व्रत (अमावस्या पक्ष)": Saka 1946, 6 Jun 2024; Saka 1947, 26 May 2025 (the Chaturdashi-joined day, Amavasya from 12:11 IST); Saka 1948, 16 May 2026, all this rule's days at its central station. Nirnaya Sindhu allows the Chaturdashi-joined Amavasya for this vrata alone ("bhutaviddha na kartavya ... varjayitva ... savitrivratam", quoted there); the Aparahna rule takes that day when Amavasya begins before its Aparahna (26 May 2025), and the next day when it covers part of the first Aparahna and the whole of the next (30 May 2022, Amavasya from 29 May 14:55 IST; an almanac keeping the Chaturdashi-joined day by that verse gives 29 May: see the variation note). Odisha: savitri_amavasya_odisha (udaya Amavasya).
