One very ancient story is correlated with this Puja. In Satyug one lady was born named Savitri. She had some god gifted super powers. And when she came across at the age of marriage her father was unable to get best suitable life partner for her. Her father asked her to search life partner by herself. One day Savitri met with one boy named Satyawan. When she faces Satyawan he was behaving normal. Usually when any men comes in front of Savitri. Because of her superpower the men starts losing his stamina. But Satyawan was standing normal. So Mata Savitri guessed that he is the men whom she should marry. But after marriage Satyawan died. Mata Savitri was pure soul. So she kept fast and offered puja to Banyan Tree. When God Yamraj came to take spirit of Satyawan. Mata Savitri followed her till Yam Dwar. Yamraj asked her to return but she denied. Yamraj said he can’t make alive her husband but in place of it she can ask three wishes. She asked her first wish to return her in laws eyesight. Bhagwan Yamraj fulfilled her wish. She asked her second wish to return her in laws kingdom. Bhagwan Yamraj fulfilled this wish also. Then she asked her third wish to become Mother of 100 sons. God Yamraj agreed to fulfill this wish also. But after this ashirwad he came to know that unknowingly he agreed to make alive his husband. Because husband she can’t be a mother.
