Last Sawan Somwar 2025: Date, Jalabhishek muhurat, puja vidhi, and spiritual significance

Shravan, or Sawan, is considered one of the holiest months in the Hindu calendar, devoted primarily to Lord Shiva. Across India, devotees mark this spiritually charged time with fasting and prayers to seek divine blessings. In 2025, Shravan began on Friday, July 11, and will conclude on Saturday, August 9.

Mondays during this period — known as Sawan Somwar — are regarded as especially sacred and ideal for offering prayers to Lord Shiva.

In addition to Sawan Somwar, devotees also observe other significant fasts such as Putrada Ekadashi in August, which is believed to bring the blessing of children.
