blessings. Let's explore the significance, rituals, and benefits of this auspicious month.
Rituals Performed During Sawan
- During Sawan, devotees perform special rituals to honor Lord Shiva. This includes Abhishekam, where Shiva Lingams are bathed with water, milk, honey, and sacred herbs. Devotees also offer Bilva leaves, flowers, and fruits to the deity.
- Chanting powerful mantras like 'Om Namah Shivaya' and participating in evening aarti are common practices that elevate spiritual energies.
- Women play a significant role during Sawan. They observe fasts, visit temples, and tie sacred threads around Peepal trees, praying for the well-being of their families. Many women also perform the Solah Somvar Vrat, fasting for sixteen Mondays to seek blessings for marital happiness and prosperity.
One of the major events during Sawan is the Kanwar Yatra, where devotees carry holy water from the Ganges to offer it to Shiva temples. Embrace the sacred month of Sawan with devotion and reverence. May Lord Shiva's blessings bring you peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth. Happy Sawan 2024!
