Shravan, also known as Sawan, is one of the most auspicious months in the Hindu calendar. Devotees across India dedicate this sacred time to Lord Shiva, observing fasts and offering prayers to seek his divine blessings.
This year, Shravan began on Friday, 11 July 2025 and will end on Saturday, 9 August 2025. Mondays during this month — known as Sawan Somwar — hold great spiritual importance and are considered especially favourable for worshipping Lord Shiva.
Devotees also observe other sacred vratas in this period, such as Putrada Ekadashi in August 2025, known for granting blessings of children.
