Happy Sawan 2020 Wishes images, quotes, status, messages: Considered one of the holiest months of the year, Sawan falls in the fifth month of the Hindu calendar. During this month, each Monday, devotees visit the temple and offer milk, flowers, holy water and bael leaves to Shiva. Mondays are thus known as Shravan Somvar.

Every year, Shravan Purnima or the full moon day falls within the Nakshatra, also known as the birth star of Lord Vishnu. As per mythology, the daughter of Daksh had to sacrifice her life and take birth again as Parvati. She wanted to marry Lord Shiva and that is why she performed penance during the month of Shravan also known as Shravan maas. It is said that Lord Shiva was pleased by Parvati’s devotion and thus fulfilled her wish.

Wish your loved ones on this auspicious occasion with these cards and messages we have specially curated for you.
