Sawan Mondays hold religious importance as they are dedicated to worshipping Lord Shiva, believed to bring special blessings.

Sawan 2024: Rituals for Worship

During Sawan 2024, devotees wake early to bathe and purify themselves before starting their puja rituals. They clean their homes meticulously, focusing on the puja room. Using a wooden plank, they place idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, lighting a Diya with desi ghee to begin their prayers. They recite the Shiva Chalisa and listen to the Shravan Maas Katha. Afterwards, they visit temples, where they offer panchamrit (a mix of milk, curd, sugar powder, honey, and ghee) to the Shiva lingam. They also offer plain water and decorate the Shiva lingam with various flowers, particularly the Bilva Patra, which is dear to Lord Shiva. They conclude by offering white sweets, along with Akshat, Chandan, and itra.
