The holy month of Shravan (Sawan) 2025 is set to begin on 11th July and will conclude on 9th August—lasting for a full 30 spiritually potent days. Considered the most auspicious month in the Hindu calendar, Shravan is dedicated entirely to Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil and the supreme being in Shaivism.
Why is Shravan So Special?
