Today, August 04, marks the last Somvari (Monday) of the auspicious month of Sawan, a sacred period dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. This day holds deep significance for devotees, who throng temples to offer prayers, perform rituals, and seek blessings.

Young girls especially observe the tradition of worshipping the Shiva Linga with turmeric paste and milk, praying for an ideal life partner like Lord Shiva. Many devotees also observe Rudrabhishek, fasting, and mantra chanting, as this day is considered especially powerful for gaining blessings in health, marital harmony, and spiritual growth.

✨ It is believed that Lord Shiva is easily pleased on this day and grants boons to his devotees. To enhance the positive effects, people are advised to donate white items such as milk, sugar, sweets, and clothes—representing the moon and symbolizing peace and tranquility.

Benefits of Observing Somvari Fasts 🌿

  • Fulfillment of wishes and desires
  • Stronger marital bond and harmony
  • Removal of past sins and karmic debt
  • Protection from negative energies
  • Attainment of inner peace and spiritual growth

Throughout Sawan, devotees practice strict fasting rituals—some consuming only one meal after puja, others observing a full-day fast until moonrise. Meals are prepared in pure forms, avoiding onion, garlic, non-vegetarian food, grains, and processed items. Instead, light and natural foods are consumed, including sabudana khichdi, kuttu atta rotis, makhana kheer, and seasonal fruits.

In Ranchi, the sacred Sureshwar Temple at Chutia, home to a magnificent 108-feet Shiva Linga, witnessed huge crowds today. Devotees, despite the rush, stood patiently shoulder to shoulder for a glimpse (darshan) of Lord Shiva and to perform puja.

🙏 On this final Somvari of Sawan, may Lord Shiva bless everyone with health, peace, and happiness.
