Mumbai: The Hindu holy month of Shravan is just around the corner. Devotees of Lord Shiva are gearing up to celebrate the month by taking part in Kanvar yatras, observing fast or by going on a pilgrimage. Devotees also head to Shiva Temples across the country, especially the Jyotirlinga sites.

During the month of Shravan, devotees chant Mantras, do Abhishek and offer prayers to Lord Shiva either at home or at temples.

According to the calendar followed by devotees in the northern part of India, the divine month will begin on July 28, this year.

Mondays are meant for worshipping Lord Shiva, also referred to as Shankar, Bholenath and Rudra. Monday or Somwar is very auspicious because it is dedicated to the most supreme being or the highest governing force.
