Shravan Somvar Vrat is a sacred Hindu fasting ritual observed on Mondays during the holy month of Shravan (Sawan), dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees across India, especially in Ujjain, observe this vrat with deep devotion. It is traditionally believed that Lord Shiva is easily pleased during the Shravan month.
What is Shravan Somvar Vrat?
Shravan, also called Sawan, is the fifth month of the Hindu calendar and is considered highly auspicious for the worship of Lord Shiva. Mondays that fall during this month are known as Shravan Somvar. On these days, devotees observe a fast (vrat) and offer prayers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to tradition, the Shravan month is dear to Lord Shiva, and worship performed during this time is believed to carry special spiritual merit.

Devotees typically wake up early, take a holy bath, and visit a Shiva temple. The vrat is observed by fasting throughout the day, with many devotees consuming only fruits, milk, or a single sattvik meal. Lord Shiva is worshipped with belpatra, dhatura, milk, honey, and water. The Shravan Somvar Vrat Katha is recited, and devotees chant Om Namah Shivaya. In Ujjain, special Rudrabhishek and Mahamrityunjay Jaap are performed at the Mahakaleshwar Temple during Shravan.
Traditional Benefits of Shravan Somvar Vrat
According to traditional Hindu belief, observing the Shravan Somvar Vrat is said to bring spiritual merit and divine blessings. It is believed that unmarried devotees who observe this vrat with devotion may be blessed with a suitable life partner, while married couples pray for harmony and well-being. Many also believe that sincere fasting and Shiva worship during Shravan can help reduce the malefic effects of planetary doshas. These are faith-based beliefs and outcomes may vary from person to person.
