    1 day ago

    Sawan 2026 Start Date: In Hindu tradition, Sawan or Shravan is considered one of the most auspicious months dedicated to Lord Shiv. Known as the fifth month in the Hindu calendar, it usually falls in July or August. Devotees believe that during this sacred time, Lord Shiv resides on Earth, and even offering a single drop of water to the Shivling can remove one’s sufferings. The spiritual energy of Sawan doubles the merit of any Shiv Puja, making it a powerful time for worship, rituals, and fasting.

    Sawan 2026 is set to begin on July 30, 2026, and end on August 28, 2026, offering devotees 28 days of divine opportunity to seek Lord Shiv’s blessings.

    Why Is Sawan Month So Important?

    Sawan is believed to be highly fruitful for those who worship Lord Shiv with devotion. According to scriptures, performing good deeds and rituals in this month can lead to moksha (liberation). Devotees from across India undertake Kanwar Yatra, where they carry holy Ganga water from Haridwar or Gangotri and offer it at Lord Shiv temples. This act is believed to wash away sins of many lifetimes.

    What Should You Do In Sawan For Good Results?

    • Perform Rudrabhishek daily with water, milk, or honey.
    • Avoid leafy vegetables and eat a sattvic (pure and balanced) diet.
    • Maintain discipline in lifestyle – follow celibacy, speak the truth, and avoid lying or arguments.
    • Sleep on the floor as a sign of spiritual humility.
    • Recite Gayatri Mantra, Om Namah Shivya, and read the Shiv Purana.
    • Offer prayers with faith and devotion to achieve peace, health, and fulfillment of desires.
