<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSawan Somwar Vrat will be observed on the Mondays of the holy month of Sawan in the year 2026. Sawan Mondays 2026 Dates are 3 August, 10 August, 17 August, 24 August. These days are dedicated to Lord Shiva and are considered very effective for doing Jalabhishek, praying, chanting mantras and fasting. Many devotees observe Sawan Somwar Vrat for peace, good health, marital blessings, family happiness, and to resolve issues. After performing puja, devotees either read or listen to the Sawan Somwar Vrat Katha. This story teaches the importance of true devotion, patience and faith. <\/p>\n According to the popular vrat katha, there was a rich moneylender. He was a rich, respectable man and lived a comfortable life, but he had no children. <\/p>\n This made him very sad. The money-lender was a true devotee of Lord Siva. He used to go to the Shiva temple every Monday and worship the Shivling with great devotion and offer prayers. Seeing his pain, Goddess Parvati asked Lord Shiva to give him a son. Lord Shiva said the man was not destined for a long, happy life with a child. But Goddess Parvati made another petition to him. Lord Shiva gave a son to the moneylender, but warned him that the child would not live long. After some time, the moneylender’s wife gave birth to a boy. The family was happy. When the boy grew up, he was sent to another city to study. He was on his way when he came to a place where a wedding was going on. The boy was asked to act as the groom for a short ceremony due to an issue within the groom’s family. Then the bride learned the truth, but still took him as her husband. The boy went on his way, but he died at the appointed time. His family and wife wept with deep sorrow. His family was very religious, and his Goddess Parvati again appealed to Lord Shiva to rescue him. Lord Shiva brought the boy back to life. Through this katha, we learn that Lord Shiva is responsive to sincere prayers and protects his devotees from suffering. <\/p>\n <\/strong> Take a bath, put on clean clothes and get up early. Offer Shivling water, milk, belpatra, white flowers, sandalwood paste, akshat, fruits and sweets. During Jalabhishek, chant Om Namah Shivaya. After the puja, read the Sawan Somwar Vrat Katha. Devotees should abstain from anger, lies, bitter words, onion, garlic, alcohol and non-vegetarian food. Some people do a complete fast. After the puja, some people have fruits, milk, water or a simple sattvik meal. <\/p>\n <\/strong> It is believed that Sawan Somwar Vrat gives mental peace, good health, family harmony and the blessings of Lord Shiva. This vrat is observed by young, unmarried girls seeking a suitable life partner. Married couples pray for love, stability and happiness. It is also thought to be good for reducing stress, fear, delays and negative energy.<\/div>\nSawan Somwar Vrat Katha
