Sawan, a sacred month dedicated to Lord Shiva, commences around July 11 in 2025, according to the Purnimanta calendar. Its origin lies in the Samudra Manthan, where Shiva consumed poison to save the universe. Devotees observe fasts, perform Abhishek of the Shivalinga, and chant mantras, seeking blessings for marital bliss, wish fulfillment, and spiritual growth during this auspicious time.
