Shravan 2020: Sawan Somvaar Vrat Vidhi
Shiva is the destroyer of the evil, the transformer, the Supreme being who has immense power, yet the one who is the easiest to please. Lord Shiva can be pleased with minimal offerings, more so in the month of Shravana. In North India, it starts from today and it is called as Sawan Month. In South India, it starts from 21 July and it is called as Shravana Masa in Karnataka, Shravana Masam in Telugu.
Shravana is the fourth month in the Hindu calendar, most popular because of the number of festivals which are celebrated during the month. Among these festivals, the most popular one is Sawan Somvaar.
Sawan Somvaar, originally a fasting day, is one of the most awaited festivals among the Hindus. Somvaar (Monday) is the Indian name for Monday. All the four Mondays of the month of Shravana are observed as fasting days. Though the whole month is dedicated to Lord Shiva only, these Mondays are more significant. Here, we have brought to you the puja vidhi for Sawan Somvaar.
Sawan Somvaar Puja Samagri
A Shivalinga, tray, any five fruits, pushpamala (a garland of flowers), paan patta (betel leaves), belpatra (bilva leaves), Datura, some flowers, cotton wicks, earthen lamp as diya, vermilion, some grains of rice for adding in vermilion as tilak to Shivalinga, a bowl, honey, gangajal, sugar, cow's milk, curd, cow ghee for lighting the lamp, moli (the sacred red thread), and a shringaar box which should be offered to Goddess Parvati while worshipping Lord Shiva.
Sawan Somvaar Puja Vidhi
1.
Take
the
Shivalinga
and
place
it
in
a
tray.
Since
we
will
be
offering
abhishekam
to
Lord
Shiva
in
it,
make
sure
the
tray
or
plate
is
such
that
the
water
does
not
overflow.
2.
Now
place
the
Shivalinga
in
it.
Give
a
water
bath
to
the
Shivalinga.
You
can
add
flower
petals
and
gangajal
in
it.
3.
Prepare
the
panchamrit.
Take
a
teaspoonful
curd
in
a
bowl,
add
two
teaspoons
of
milk
in
it.
Add
a
teaspoon
of
sugar,
along
with
half
a
spoon
of
honey
and
one
spoon
of
gangajal.
Stir
it
well
and
the
panchamrit
is
ready.
4.
Give
a
panchamrit
bath
to
Shivalinga,
chanting
the
mantra-
Om
Namoh
Shivaay.
5.
Thereafter
give
a
gangajal
bath.
6.
When
all
these
baths
are
done,
place
the
five
fruits
in
the
tray
offering
them
to
Shivalinga.
7.
Now
offer
the
paan
patta,
then
the
belpatra,
and
thereafter
offer
Datura
to
Shivalinga
and
place
them
inside
the
tray.
8.
After
that
you
can
offer
supari
and
clove,
then
the
pushpamala
and
thereafter
the
flowers
to
Lord
Shiva.
9.
Next
is
the
moli
(the
sacred
red
thread).
The
length
of
the
thread
is
such
that
you
should
be
able
to
whirl
it
five
times
around
all
the
four
fingers
taken
together,
as
explained
in
the
video.
Offer
this
to
the
Shivalinga.
10.
Do
not
forget
to
keep
the
shringaar
box
in
the
tray
as
an
offering
to
Goddess
Parvati.
11.
Now
take
another
plate
and
place
a
diya
(earthen
lamp)
in
it.
Take
some
vermilion
in
the
plate,
and
add
a
few
drops
of
water
to
it,
and
some
grains
of
rice.
12.
Light
the
diya
using
ghee
and
offer
the
tilak
to
Shivalinga,
with
rice
grains.
Now
perform
the
arti,
concluding
the
puja.
