Shravan Purnima or the full moon day in the month of Sawan is a highly auspicious day marked by various significant rituals.
The month of Sawan, also known as Shravan Somvar, is considered the fifth month of the Hindu calendar. It usually comes in the month of July-August. As per Hindu traditions, this month is considered a holy month due to various festivals celebrated during this month.
During this time, each Monday, devotees observe fast, visit the temple and offer milk, flowers, holy water, and bael leafs to Shiva. It is believed that, if unmarried women observe fast to please Lord Shiva during the month of Sawan, every month, then they get their ideal husband a happy life ahead. This is known as Solah Somwar Vrat. Krishna Janmashtami, Raksha Bandhan, and Nag Panchmi are a few other festivals which are celebrated during this time.
