On this day, women are usually seen with full-hand Mehendi design but if you do not have enough time, you can also go for Arabic mehndi.  The pooja rituals of Vat Savitri are simple. One has to get up in the Brahma Muhurta which is early in the morning before the break of dawn and clean the house. After bathing and wearing clean clothes women must opt for sixteen makeup adornments also known as Solah Shringar, as it is considered very auspicious. Women take all the worship materials in a basket made of brass or bamboo and go to the nearest banyan tree to worship it.
