About Shravan Month

As per the Hindu mythological calendar, Shravan is an auspicious fourth month which has already begun. The devotees of Hindu God, Lord Shiva are all lined up out the temples to worship him. These people observe fast on this day in respect of Lord Shiva and his wife, Parvati. There are many people who keep a fast on every Monday that falls under this month. This time, the first Monday of Shravan happens to be on July 30, 2018.
