Shravan or Sawan is one of the holiest months in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to Lord Shiva. It falls between July to August and the month is marked by fasting, special pujas and rituals. Devotees believe that worshipping Lord Shiva during the Shravan month can give 100 times more spiritual merit than any other time.
According to holy books, the Samudra Manthan took place during this month and Lord Shiva consumed poison to save the universe. Devotees across India also observe sacred rituals like Rudrabhishek puja, Satyanarayan puja and Sawan Somvar Vrat to seek blessings from Lord Shiva for health, wealth and spiritual upliftment.

Shravan Month Puja
Rudrabhishek Puja in Sawan
Rudrabhishek is the most powerful ritual during Shravan. Lord Shiva is worshipped with offerings of water, milk, honey, curd, ghee and bilva leaves. Devotees chant powerful mantras like Rudra Sukta or Maha Mrityunjaya, dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that performing Rudrabhishek puja on Sawan Somvar or Sawan Shivratri is considered most auspicious.
Shravan Shivratri Puja
Sawan Shivratri is observed on the 14th day of Krishna Paksha in the Shravan month. Devotees do fast throughout the day and then perform midnight Shiv Abhishek with milk and water and then offer bhang, datura and bilva leaves. People light diyas around the Shivalinga and chant ‘Maha Mrityunjay Mantra’ and ‘Om Namah Shivaya’.
Devotees perform puja during the four praharas of the night and seek blessings of Lord Shiva for health and spiritual upliftment. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva on this night destroys sins and grants divine grace.
Satyanarayan Puja in Shravan
Performing Satyanarayan puja during the Shravan month is considered highly fruitful. It is traditionally performed on the Purnima (full-moon day). It is believed that performing Satyanarayan puja during Shravan month bring prosperity, resolve family issues and fulfill material desires.
