Shravan Shiva Puja 2021: Significance, Puja Vidhi, Materials To Perform Rudrabhishek
The month of Shravan or Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva and according to the Hindu Calendar the whole month is considered to be auspicious to seek blessings of Lord Shiva. Devotees keep fasts and pray to Him to please God and seek Lord Shiva's blessings.
During Shravan month, all Mondays or Somwar(s) are considered highly auspicious and the fasts done during this period are known as Shravan Somwar or Sawan Somwar Vrats. The fasting starts from the first Somwar of Sawan month and many devotees observe fasts of sixteen Mondays or Solah Somwar. Further, all Tuesdays or Mangalwar of the Shravan month are dedicated to Goddess Parvati, who is the consort of Lord Shiva. Therefore, Tuesday's fasting during this month is known as Mangal Gauri Vrat.
According to a website Drik Panchang, The dates of the Shravan month differ based on what calendar is followed in a particular region. In Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Amanta Lunar Calendar is followed while in North Indian states Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Jharkhand Purnimanta Calendar is followed. Hence half of the Sawan Somwar dates differ in both calendars.
