The Spiritual Importance of Sawan Somwar 2025
Sawan is the month when the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) took place. During this time, a deadly poison called Halahal came out, which Lord Shiva drank to save the universe. This is why he is also known as Neelkanth (the blue-throated one). To reduce the effect of the poison, devotees offer water, milk, and other sacred items to the Shivlinga during this month.
In Sawan Somwar 2025, devotees believe that worshiping Lord Shiva with a pure heart helps remove negative energies, cure health problems, and bring prosperity. Prayers and fasting are also considered beneficial for marriage-related issues, career growth, and overall peace of mind.
