Monsoon has just started, bringing with it one of the most awaited and sacred months in the Hindu calendar, Shravan, also commonly known as Sawan, dedicated to Lord Shiva. In 2025, Sawan will begin on the 11th of July and end on the 9th of August (according to the Purnimanta calendar). This month holds great significance due to the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), during which Lord Shiva consumed the poison (Halahala) to save the universe, earning him the name Neelkanth. Every Monday (Somwar) is considered an especially auspicious day during Shravan.
