The pious month started on Tuesday, July 4, and it will finish on Thursday, August 31. The Sawan Somwar fasts will begin on July 10 in the meanwhile. On August 28, the final Sawan Somwar fast will be observed.

Every Monday, or Somvar, during the holy month of Sawan, worshippers go to the temple and present Shiva with milk, flowers, holy water, and bael leaves. Tuesdays are exclusively devoted to the goddess Parvati, or Mangalwar. Tuesday fasting is referred to as Mangal Gauri Vrat during this month, according to Drik Panchang.
