Sawan Somwar Vrat Dates: Maharashtra and Gujarat

Meaning of Shravan

The fifth month of the Hindu calendar is now upon us. The Hindu calendar considers the Shravan month to be one of the holiest months of the year. But have you ever wondered why it was given the name Shravan? Because the Shravan Nakshatra is said to control the sky on Poornima, or full moon day, its name is taken from the Nakshatra. Devotees offer Patram-pushpam and phalam-toyam to Shiva linga during this month.

The month of Shravan is associated with festivals and celebrations. It is the finest time to hold any auspicious events since the majority of the days in this month are favourable for shubh aarambh (the new beginnings). Every Monday during this month is celebrated as Shravan somvar in all temples, with Dharanatra over the Shivling, washing it in holy water and milk throughout the day and night. Let’s learn all about Shravan’s dates and timings, as well as the crucial Mondays!
