Shrawan (Saavan ) Month 2018 

 श्रावण मास २०१८ 

Sawan Maas is the fifth month of the Hindu calender. Shravan is considered the holiest month of the year for worship for Lord Shiva . It is the first and most auspicious month of Chatur Mas, the four holiest months in the Hindu Calendar. Almost all the days of Shravan month are considered auspicious. The month of Shravan derives its name from the star "Shravan" that rules the sky on Poornima.
