This special occasion comes after Mahashivratri and is considered the next most important day for Shiva worship. Devotees across India and worldwide observe fasts, visit temples, and perform holy rituals to seek the Lord's blessings.
Why Sawan Shivratri 2025 is So Special
While every day of the Sawan month is dedicated to Lord Shiva, Sawan Shivratri 2025 is believed to be highly beneficial for spiritual growth and wish fulfilment. On this day, people perform Jalabhishek, a sacred ritual where water or other holy items are poured on the Shivling.
Worshippers believe that offering water to the Shivling during the Shubh Muhurat (auspicious time) brings peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Sawan Shivratri 2025 Jalabhishek Time: Most Auspicious Hours

Rose petal shower on kanwariyas & devotees on third Shrawan Somvar
Prayagraj: All the prominent Lord Shiv temples of Sangam city resonated with 'Har Har Mahadev' and 'Om Namay Shivay' chants on the occasion of the third Somvar during the ongoing Shrawan month. Thousands of devotees made a beeline to the temples. Observing the third Shrawan Somwar (Monday), devotees of all age groups, including kanwariyas , thronged prominent Lord Shiv temples including Padila Mahadev, Mankameshwar Mahadev Temple, Takshakeshwar Nath Temple, Someshwar Nath, Nagbasuki, and Shri Natheshwar Mahadev since early morning. Meanwhile, senior police and administrative officials, including District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar and Commissioner of Police (Prayagraj) Jogendra Kumar, on Monday did a rose petal shower on kanwariyas and devotees at the Sangam area, Bade Hanuman Temple, Mankameshwar Temple, Dashashwamedh, and other ghats from a chopper. Scores of kanwariyas, who are en route to the Kanwar Yatra arrived at Dashashwamedh Ghat and the banks of the Ganga in Prayagraj district to take holy water and further visited Padila Mahadev (Tharwai), Mankameshwar Mahadev (Sangam city), and Kashi Vishwanath (Varanasi) to offer Jalabhishek to Lord Shiv. Although every small and big temple of Lord Shiv witnessed a heavy rush of devotees, the maximum rush was seen at the Mankameshwar Temple and Padila Mahadev Temple at Tharwai. The devotees offered milk, honey, sandalwood paste, and leaves of Bel (wood apple) on 'shivling'. An equal rush was witnessed at the temple of Shivkuti and Someshwar Mahadev in Naini. Meanwhile, officials of the Prayagraj Police Commissionerate made elaborate security arrangements at temples to regulate the flow of devotees. Apart from barricading, duties of both male and female policemen were assigned at static points to regulate the crowd and traffic. Throwing light on the importance of Shrawan Somwar, noted religious scholar Dr Amitabh Gour said that, "Lord Shiv showers blessings on all devotees. This is one of the reasons that motivate millions of Shiv devotees, especially kanwariyas, to cover hundreds of kilometres on bare feet and offer prayers at the shivling during the Shrawan month. Mondays, or Somvar, in month of Shrawan are considered highly auspicious for praying to Lord Shiv."

3 kanwariyas fall into Damodar river, saved
Bokaro: A major tragedy was averted on the third Monday of Sawan in district when three youths jumped into the swollen Damodar River near near Telmouchu Bridge while making video reels. Amidst heavy rain, the river's current was dangerously strong, as thousands of Kanwar Yatra devotees had gathered to collect water for Jalabhishek at Chirka Dham situated far at Jharkhand-West Bengal Border in Purulia district. Suddenly, chaos erupted when the youths began to be swept away. Two of them managed to reach the riverbank and were rescued by alert divers. The third youth was carried far but was saved in time. The district administration, anticipating the risk, had deployed professional divers at the ghats. DC Bokaro Ajay Nath Jha has now been issued an alert, urging people to stay away from the river due to the rising water level.
