Sawan Somwar 2024: Vrat Katha

According to the Skanda Purana, Narada Muni questioned Lord Shiva about his intense passion for the Savan month. Lord Shiva claims that Goddess Sati underwent her father's disapproval because she vowed to have him as her spouse in each incarnation. 

After her father insulted Shiva, Goddess Sati relinquished the body. Following this, the daughter of Himalaya and Naina, gave birth to Devi Parvati. In this birth as well, the Goddess gave Lord Shiva an intense fast in the month of Sawan in order to win his approval and marry him. 

For Lord Shiva's blessing, sixteen Monday fasts have been observed starting in the month of Savan.
