Meaning
“Sanskrit Savitri, the wife whose devotion outwitted death in the Mahabharata legend, tied to the Gayatri hymn. For Telugu families it is above all the actress Savitri, the greatest star of 1950s-60s Telugu cinema; the 2018 biopic Mahanati made her a heroine again and turned this grandmother-era name into a genuine vintage-revival candidate”
