The month of Shravan has been considered one of the most auspicious months in the Hindu calendar. This year this auspicious month will start from 23 July and continue till 22 August.

The Mondays of Shravan are especially very significant for the ladies who fast and pray to Lord Shiva to get a good life partner and for the prosperity of their family.

Shiva Drank The Poison
During the Samudra Manthan, the most dangerous poison was consumed by Lord Shiva during this month. After consuming the poison the Lord became unconscious. After that, the deities on the advice of Lord Brahma performed the Jalabhishek and treated Him with various herbs. Only then Lord Shiva regained consciousness. It was thus, the ritual of Jalabhishek or pouring water on the Shivalinga started.
