This year, 2020 will see Sawan or Shraavana month start on July 6 and end on August 3. Mondays are extremely special during the Sawan month and it is during this time that devotees try to please Lord Shiva and seek his blessings. Many people fast during the Saawan month. While some go for falahar fast some go for nirjala vrat only eating once a day after the sunset.
