Importance of listening to the story and important rules of fasting
It is considered very important to listen to the story of Vat Savitri after the puja. This fast remains incomplete without listening to the story, hence all the women must listen to the story of Savitri and Satyavan together. After listening to the story, donating wedding items and grains to a needy person according to your capacity gives very auspicious results. Do not bear bitterness towards anyone on this day and spend the whole day in simplicity and peace. Your fast can be broken by taking fruits and simple food in the evening. It is considered very inauspicious to damage trees or hurt someone on this day, so take special care of these things. This fast observed with rules and ease not only increases the life of the husband but also brings love in mutual relationships.
