A king prayed for many years to have a child.
The goddess Savitri appeared and blessed him with a daughter.
The princess was named Savitri and grew up wise and beautiful.
When it was time to marry, she chose Prince Satyavan.
The sage Narada warned that Satyavan would die in one year.
Savitri decided to marry him anyway, out of love and devotion.
She left her palace and lived happily with Satyavan in a forest hermitage.
As the year ended, Savitri fasted and prayed for three days.
One day in the forest, Satyavan suddenly fell ill and died.
Yama, the god of death, came to take his spirit away.
Savitri bravely followed Yama as he walked toward his kingdom.
Impressed by her loyalty, Yama granted her three wishes—except her husband’s life.
She cleverly asked for children by Satyavan, forcing Yama to return his life.
Yama restored Satyavan, his father’s kingdom, and his sight.
Savitri and Satyavan lived long and happily, blessed with many children.
