Why The Month Of Shravan Is Significant?
The month of Shravan is the official beginning of the Monsoon in India. Although the rains have started about a month back, this will be the peak of the Monsoons. In Hinduism, the month of Shravan is not just associated with the rains. There is a lot of significance attached to Shravan as it is a holy and auspicious month in the Hindu calendar.
Some communities among the Hindus eat vegetarian foods during the month of Shravan. It is not only because this is a scared month, but also because the rains can cause a lot of stomach infections. It is best to eat light.
To understand the significance of Shravan, you need to take a closer look at the rituals associated with it and here they are.

like
Goddess
Lakshmi
and
a

or

but
it
also
fumed
the

called
'Halahal'.
Lord
Shiva
came
forward
and
swallowed
this
poison
to
stop
it
from
infecting
the
Universe.

why,
this
month
is
totally
dedicated

Lord
Shiva.
