Savitri chose Satyavan as her husband knowing he was fated to die within a year. When Yama, the god of death, came to take his soul, she followed — and through her wisdom, devotion and clever words, she won her husband's life back.
"She followed Death itself down the road, and would not turn back until he returned what he had taken."
Savitri represents devotion, intelligence and a love stronger than death. A daughter named Savitri carries determination, wisdom and a fiercely loyal heart.
