Today (July 14) is the first Monday of the month of Sawan 2025 also known as Shravan. The day is considered highly auspicious for the Lord Shiva worshipers and for Hindus. It is believed that worshipping Shiva on Sawan Mondays fulfils devotees’ wishes for happiness and prosperity.
Sawan is believed to be the holiest month in Hinduism and is eagerly awaited throughout the year. During this month, Bholenath is believed to descend to earth and shower special blessings upon devotees. To please Him, devotees perform Jalabhishek on the Shivalinga with proper rituals at Shiva temples across the country. The festival holds a special charm in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, where devotees from far and wide gather to collect Gangajal and offer it to the Shivalinga on Sawan 2025.
