Shravan (Sawan) Somvar

सावन सोमवार व्रत
The month of Shravan,
popularly known as
Sawan, is the fifth
month of the Hindu
calender. Shravan is
considered the
holiest month of the
year. Each Monday of
this month, known as
Shravan Somvar, is
a special day in
Shiva temples where
the dharanatra hangs
over the linga or
the idol to bathe it
with holy water, day
and night. Devotees
pile the linga high
with Bel leaves and
flowers and fast
till sunset.
It is considered
highly auspicious to
wear a rudraksha in
Shravan month. As,
Mondays or Somvars
of Shravan month are
specially observed
with austerity. All
Mondays are devoted
to the worship of
Shiva as this day is
sacred to Lord
Shiva. No other
Mondays of other
months are so
greatly honored.
The belief is that
in Shravan month,
offering milk to
Lord Shiva earns a
lot of punya.
