Details
The fourth Somwar (Monday) of the Shravana month holds immense spiritual significance for devotees of Lord Shiva. Falling in the holy month of Shravana, which is considered highly auspicious in the Hindu calendar, this day is dedicated to intense devotion, fasting, and prayer. Devotees believe that worshipping Lord Shiva on Shravana Somwar brings blessings, removes obstacles, and fulfills heartfelt desires.
On the fourth Somwar, devotees wake up early, bathe, and visit Shiva temples to perform Abhishekam (ritual bathing) with milk, honey, water, and bilva leaves. The chanting of “Om Namah Shivaya” and recitation of Shiva Chalisa or Rudram are common practices. Many people observe fasts throughout the day, consuming only fruits and milk, while some observe Nirjal vrat (fast without water) to show utmost devotion.
This particular Somwar is considered especially powerful for unmarried individuals seeking a suitable partner, and for married couples wishing to strengthen their bond. Spiritually, it is believed that each Monday in Shravana aligns the soul closer to divine energies.
