Sawan month or Shravan month is considered to be one of the most auspicious months of the Hindu Calendar. It is during this month that people seek Lord Shiva and his consort Goddess Gauri's blessings by offering prayers and fasting.

It is during this time that devotees of Lord Shiva observe a day-long fast on all Mondays (Somwars) and those are known as Sawan Somwar Vrats. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva with a whole heart in this month bestows happiness, success and prosperity to the people. Apart from Mondays, all Tuesdays (Mangalwar) of this month are dedicated to Goddess Parvati.

Mangala Gauri Vrat is observed by married women, especially newlyweds, to seek conjugal bliss from Goddess Gauri. It is also known as Sri Mangala Gowri Vratham in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and the rest of South India. 10 August is the first Mangala Gauri Vrat day of Shravan 2021.
