Shubh Vat Purnima

In the Western coast of India, specifically Maharashtra, Goa & Gujarat, the month of Jyeshtha calls for the Vat Savitri or Vat Purnima vrat and celebrations. Celebrated in honour of Savitri and Satyavan and their eternal love, this festival is a reminder of the enduring bond and unwavering commitment between married partners.

Married women fast through the day, and gather beneath the sacred Vat Vriksh (Peepal tree) to offer their prayers and seek blessings for their husband’s long life. The Peepal or the banyan tree symbolises the Trimurtis —Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara—with Shiva represented by its top, Vishnu by its stem, and Brahma by its roots.

Married women are usually dressed in their wedding attire or choose auspicious colours like yellow, red, green or orange. Choosing jewellery isa matter of personal taste and tradition. While some like to go the minimalist route with just the mangalsutra, some gold bangles and toe ring, the new bride usually goes the whole way.

Here are a few ways you can jewel up your Vat Purnima / Vat Savitri look – not to mention the ideal gift that every Satyavan can give his Savitri.

Minimal and Modern

Add a statement to your modern saree with a pair of big, bold Jhumkas that accentuate your face and neckline. We suggest skipping the necklace and going for a single kada in either hand to compliment your earrings.

Traditional and Timeless

Go all out with your traditional look and add timeless pieces of jewellery to your ensemble. Accessorise your traditional saree with layers of a choker, necklace and a long haar in heritage designs. Choose bold studs for your earrings, and let every movement of your hands be accompanied by the tinkling of gold bangles.

Polki and Precious

Polki and Kundan jewellery add a dash of elegance and glamour to your attire. We suggest you choose a statement necklace that covers the neckline and pair it with matching earrings- either danglers or big and bold studs in the same design.

Meenakari and Magnificent

The vibrant hues of Meenakari jewellery are the perfect complement to your traditional silk sarees. You can go for a simple necklace and jhumkas with matching bangles or select a choker that is bold and beautiful. Mix in a few coloured glass bangles along with Meenakari kangans to brighten the occasion.

Mix and Match

When there are times we choose to stand out, here’s a unique way to make that work. Mix and match your individual jewellery pieces to complete your look. Here’s how to do it. Pair each jewellery piece with your saree. This helps to tie in the entire look and gives an aura of collective charm. For example, wear a diamond necklace, a pair of ruby studded earrings and emerald studded bangles. Make sure they all have a common element, like pearls tying them all together.

So this Vat Purnima, give the gift of love and appreciation for the acts of sacrifice and devotion.
