On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Bengali households across Bharata will welcome their married daughters and sons-in-law home for the legendary jamai-aador feast and perform the Shashthi Vrata. But behind the warmth lies a story most Bengalis know by heart and most non-Bengalis have never heard — the wife who stole the hilsa, blamed the cat, lost six sons to Maa Shashthi’s wrath, and was finally forgiven. The Vrat Katha, the vidhi, the mantras, and the deeper teaching.
On Monday, June 29, 2026, women across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and southern Bharata will tie red thread around banyan trees and hear the story of Savitri — the wife who walked behind Yamaraja Himself when He came for her husband, and out-argued the Lord of Dharma into returning Satyavan’s life.

Once every 2.5–3 years — when the rare 13th month of Adhika Maas opens — a thirteenth Vinayaka Chaturthi appears. The Mudgala Purana calls it Varada Chaturthi, the “boon-giving” Chaturthi, and holds it as the most fruit-bearing Ganesha day of the entire calendar. Today, Wednesday May 20, 2026, is that day.
