North Indian Shravana Masa Begins

Marks the start of the holy month of Shravana in the purnimanta calendar followed across North India, which begins about a fortnight earlier than the amanta reckoning used in the south and west. The month is devoted to Shiva, with Monday (Shravan Somvar) fasts, Kanwar pilgrimage and abhisheka at Shiva temples.
