Sawan Shivratri 2025: Know Date, Puja Timings, Rudrabhishek Muhurat And Bhadra Kaal
Sawan Shivratri 2025 will be observed on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. On this day, devotees offer water and perform Rudrabhishek to seek Lord Shiva's blessings and wish fulfilment
The holy festival of Sawan Shivratri is celebrated every year on the Chaturdashi tithi of Krishna Paksha during the month of Sawan. This year, the festival will be observed on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. After Mahashivratri, this is considered the most important day to worship Lord Shiva during the monsoon month.
While devotees worship Shiva throughout the month of Sawan, Sawan Shivratri is believed to be especially auspicious and fruitful. On this day, devotees perform Jalabhishek (offering water on the Shivling) and Rudrabhishek rituals to seek blessings for peace, prosperity, happiness, and health.
Tithi and Yogas for Sawan Shivratri 2025
The Chaturdashi Tithi for Sawan Shivratri begins on July 23 at 4:39 AM and ends on July 24 at 2:28 AM. On this day, sunrise will occur at 5:37 AM and sunset at 7:17 PM. Vyaghata Yoga will last until 12:34 PM, while Ardra Nakshatra will remain in effect until 5:54 PM. The most auspicious time for Nishita Kaal Puja falls on the night of July 23, between 12:07 AM and 12:48 AM.
Jalabhishek Muhurta on Sawan Shivratri
The auspicious time to offer water to Lord Shiva on Sawan Shivratri begins from Brahma Muhurta, which on this day is from 4:15 AM to 4:56 AM. Devotees throng Shiva temples from early morning to perform Jalabhishek. The ritual continues throughout the day.
Rahukaal, offering prayers to Lord Shiva during this period is believed to remove Kaal Sarp Dosh. On this day, Kanwar Yatris especially perform Jalabhishek to Mahadev as part of their spiritual journey.
Rudrabhishek Muhurta on Sawan Shivratri
According to scriptures, Lord Shiva is present throughout the month of Sawan, making any time ideal for Rudrabhishek. However, performing the ritual on Sawan Shivratri is considered highly rewarding. Devotees may begin the Rudrabhishek after sunrise on July 23. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva with sincerity on this day helps fulfil wishes and brings divine blessings.
Auspicious Timings on Sawan Shivratri
While there is no Abhijeet Muhurta this year on Sawan Shivratri, several other shubh muhurats are available:
Morning Muhurta: 4:36 AM to 5:37 AM
Amrit Kaal: 8:32 AM to 10:02 AM
Vijay Muhurta: 2:44 PM to 3:39 PM
Evening Muhurta: 7:17 PM to 8:20 PM
Twilight Muhurta: 7:17 PM to 7:38 PM
Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja Time
Worshipping Lord Shiva during Rahukaal is considered highly beneficial for those suffering from Kaal Sarp Dosh. On July 23, Rahukaal is from 12:27 PM to 2:10 PM. Performing rituals during this time is believed to ward off the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu and bring peace and stability in life.
Bhadra Timings
On July 23, Bhadra will begin at 5:37 AM and end at 3:31 PM. However, since this Bhadra resides in Swarg Lok (heaven), it will have no negative effect on earthly activities. Therefore, all auspicious works can be performed on this day. Moreover, Bhadra, Rahukaal, etc., are not considered obstacles in the worship of Lord Shiva.
Devotees believe that worshipping Bholenath on Sawan Shivratri brings good fortune, wealth, health, and spiritual upliftment. It is a day when the faithful connect deeply with the divine and seek blessings for a better life.

Children take out Bal Kanwar yatra in Ranchi on eve of third Somvari
1 2 Ranchi: The spiritual fervour at Pahari Mandir reached a divine crescendo on Sunday morning as chants of "Har Har Mahadev" and "Bol Bam" echoed across the streets, led not by adults but by the youngest devotees of Lord Shiva. The occasion was Bal Kanwar Yatra, a vibrant procession of saffron-clad children carrying kanwars filled with holy water from Nakshatra Van to the revered Pahari Baba Mandir. Over 150 kids participated in the yatra. The yatra commenced with the ceremonial aarti of child actors dressed as Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, seated on a decorative chariot that led the procession. Behind them, hundreds of boys and girls dressed in traditional saffron attire walked barefoot, chanting in unison, their kanwars swinging rhythmically. The route passed through Ratu Road Chowk and Durga Mandir before culminating at the Pahari Mandir, where the children performed jalabhishek of Mahadev with utmost devotion. Adding to the spiritual and cultural experience, children were given items such as raincoats, fruit, snacks, and pencil boxes as a gesture of encouragement. Many parents accompanied their children, creating a family-oriented spiritual atmosphere. "Such events help inculcate discipline, respect, and spiritual grounding in children. When values are nurtured early, they reflect in the way children grow into responsible citizens. I'm heartened to see such enthusiasm among young devotees," said Ranchi MLA C.P. Singh, who joined the yatra at Pahari Mandir. Badal Singh, spokesperson of the organising committee, added, "The Bal Kanwar Yatra began in 2022, and each year we're witnessing greater enthusiasm. This time, children from not just Ranchi, but also from Palamu, Hazaribagh, and Dumka participated."

UP: Devotees seek blessings of lord Banke Bihari on Hariyali Teej
Mathura , People from different walks of life flocked to the temples in Mathura and Vrindavan and sought the blessings of lord Banke Bihari on the occasion of Hariyali Teej on Sunday. UP: Devotees seek blessings of lord Banke Bihari on Hariyali Teej "A large number of devotees are visiting the Shri Banke Bihari Temple today. Banke Bihari jee Maharaj, in a green attire, gave darshan to devotees on a 'Hindola' made of gold and silver along with Radha Rani," temple Sewayat Gyanendra Kishor Goswami said. Elaborating on the significance of the day, he said that apart from a religious point of view, this ritual has a connection with India's independence as the tradition started on August 15, 1947, the day of India's independence. "Earlier, Hindola darshans were available only in the evening, but after a Supreme Court order in 2016, Hindola darshan is now available both in the morning and evening darshans. Ghewar and Pheni are two special additions made to Thakur ji's prashad today," Goswami said. "The swing was crafted by two goldsmiths of Varanasi in Vrindavan with 1 lakh tola of silver and 10,000 tola of gold, some 79 years ago," temple Sewayat and scholar Prahlad Vallabh Goswami said. Hariyali Teej is also celebrated in 'Sapt Devalaya' of Vrindavan. In Radharaman temple , the day marks the beginning of the 485-year-old festival, which culminates on Rakshabandhan. "Radharaman is wearing green clothes with a 'pagrhi' while giving darshans in a golden swing kept at the temple. The deity will give darshans in the golden swing for the next two days, followed by darshans in silver swing for the subsequent three days and in other types of swings thereafter," temple Sewayat Dinesh Chandra Goswami said. A special prasad called 'Sinhare', which includes Ghewar and Pheni, is offered to the deity on the occasion. However, a sweet puri called 'pua' is offered during the Sawan month, he said. In the Dwarkadheesh temple in Mathura city, two silver and one gold swings are put in the temple's courtyard, from the beginning of the Sawan, and they will remain there till Nandotsav, Rakesh Tiwari, media in-charge of Dwarkadheesh temple, said. The swings are decorated with fruits and flowers, and the temple is also decorated with different colours of cloth, each of which is associated with Lord Krishna's different Leelas, Rakesh Tiwari said. Mathura District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh, in an appeal to devotees, asked them to celebrate this festival without plastic and maintain cleanliness. "Adequate arrangements are in place to ensure smooth darshan of Shri Bankey Bihari ji without compromising the safety of the devotees. Sector magistrates are instructed to maintain continuity in movement of devotees," Singh said. Mathura Senior Superintendent of Police Shlok Kumar said, "The area is divided into four zones and 22 sectors and is supervised by magistrates and police officers. A traffic plan is in place to prevent traffic jams. Holding areas and parking places are identified to regulate the crowd."
