Although thousands of miles away from home and climate change can make celebrating a challenge, there are a few ways that you can make sure that this special month is as culturally significant as it is unforgettable.

 

The history behind Shravan.

Some people may not know that the month of Shravan is a religious holiday celebrated by Hindus all over the world. It is considered to be one of the most important Hindu festivals, and it is celebrated in remembrance of Lord Shiva, who is believed to be the god of destruction and change.

 

The entire month of Shravan is dedicated to worshiping Lord Shiva and his various incarnations. Some of the main events that take place during this time include fasting, singing, and prayer sessions. There are also a number of festivals that take place during this period, including Pitru Paksha (the five fruits festival) and Pradakshina (the procession to honor Lord Shiva).

 

People in India usually devote all their energies to worshipping Lord Shiva during this month, as it is seen as one of the most important days in the Hindu calendar. In fact, many Hindus believe that if they are able to perform a puja (worship ceremony) in honor of Lord Shiva during this month, it will lead to good health and prosperity throughout the year.

 

Rituals during Shravan.

The month of Shravan is an important month in the Hindu calendar and is considered to be the holiest month of the year. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is considered to be the preserver of life and who is believed to have come down to earth in the form of a man, Shravan.

2) The Ekadashi fast (or Chaturmasya fast), which occurs on the last day of Shravan.
