Shravan 2025: Does Sawan Somvaar Vrat Help You Get A Good Husband?

Sawan, also known as Shravan, is a holy month in the Hindu calendar. This auspicious month is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The month of Sawan falls between July and August and holds deep historical and religious importance in Hinduism. The month of Sawan (also known as Shravan) is considered one of the most auspicious periods, especially for the devotees of Lord Shiva. One of the important days during this pure month is Monday, called the Sawan Somwar. Here's everything you need to know about this auspicious month.

What is Sawan Somvaar Vrat?

Sawan Somvaar Vrat is a ritual fast that is observed by devotees of Lord Shiva on every Monday during the Shravan month. Mondays are already considered sacred for worshipping Shiva, and their spiritual importance increases during this holy period. During this auspicious period, devotees observe a partial or complete fast, visit Shiva temples, perform Abhishekam (ritual bathing of the Shiva Linga) with milk, honey, Dhatura, Belpatra, and water, and chant Lord Shiva mantras.

Significance of Sawan Somvaar Vrat

The Sawan Somvaar Vrat is believed to bring peace, prosperity, good health, and fulfillment of wishes. It is especially significant for unmarried women, who observe the fast to seek an ideal life partner, much like Goddess Parvati did to win Lord Shiva's heart. Married couples also observe this vrat for a happy and harmonious married life. Devotees believe that observing the Sawan Somvaar fast with true devotion helps in gaining Lord Shiva's blessings and removes negative energies and obstacles from life.

Puja vidhi of Sawan Somvaar Vrat

On this auspicious day, devotees should wake up early and take a bath before sunrise. Clean your home with gangajal and wear neat and clean clothes. It is best to visit the Lord Siva Goddess Parvati temple on this day to seek blessings. But if you can't visit the temple, you can worship the deity at home.

Prepare an asan and put a white cloth on it. Place the idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Offer white and yellow flowers, panchamrit, bhog (kheer, fruits, milk, dhatura, belpatra, and dry fruits), and recite Shiva purana, Goddess Parvati mantra, light diyas, and finally perform Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati aarti.
