‘Shravan' Begins Today: Special Shivling Initiative At Mankapur Temple
1 2 3 4 Nagpur: The holy month of Shravan, considered especially auspicious by devotees of Lord Shiva, will begin on Friday. While northern India already began observing Shravan on July 11, in Vidarbha, the month starts from the Shravan Shukla Pratipada and will conclude on August 23. This month holds deep religious significance for Hindus, with devotees observing fasts, performing rituals, and worshipping Lord Shiva — especially on Mondays. It is believed that sincere prayers and disciplined worship during this period can fulfil wishes and bring peace, health, and prosperity. Four Shravan Mondays in 2025 will be on July 28, August 4, 11, and 18. A unique spiritual initiative is being launched in Nagpur to mark the beginning of Shravan. Starting July 25, the premises of the ancient Shiv Mandir at Mankapur will host a month-long community event where devotees will create Parthiv Shivlings — small symbolic idols made from purified soil. According to the temple organisers, the aim is to collectively create 71 lakh Parthiv Shivlings between July 25 and August 24, with a daily target of 2.25 lakh Shivlings. The initiative is dedicated to the well-being of humanity, global harmony, and the spiritual upliftment of India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo "Such a vast undertaking is only possible through public participation," said former mayor Dayashankar Tiwari, one of the event coordinators. "We request every devotee to join in with their family and contribute to this sacred cause. We also urge those connected with social organisations to encourage group participation for maximum spiritual benefit." During Shravan, a significant rush of devotees is expected at several ancient Shiva temples across Nagpur. Prominent among them are the revered Shri Kalyaneshwar Shiv Mandir, the ancient Pataleshwar Temple in Mahal, Butti Mahadev Mandir, Shri Jagruteshwar Mahadev Temple, the Mahadev temple in Balaji Nagar, Manewada, and the Shiv temple at Motibagh Railway Colony. These sacred sites are known for their vibrant Shravan festivities, and thousands of devotees are expected to visit for darshan, abhishek, and Monday rituals. In addition, temples across the city will also organise Shiva Mahapuran recitations, Bhagwat Saptahs, Geeta Pathan, and various other devotional activities, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere throughout the month.

A temple, a mosque, and the harmony in between
1 2 Panchkula: In Panchkula, amidst the sacred chants of "Har Har Mahadev" echoing from the 500-year-old Saketri temple, a different kind of devotion unfolds, one that transcends religion and celebrates the unity of communities. As the holy month of Sawan progresses, devotees come to the ancient Saketri Mandir to offer prayers to Lord Shiva, especially on Sawan Shivratri, considered one of the holiest nights in Hinduism. But beyond the spiritual reverence lies a heartening tale of communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims who share the sacred space not just in prayer, but in everyday life. Right next to the temple stands a mosque, and just outside the mandir, rows of stalls bustle with activity, many owned by members of both communities. Among them is Jalal Uddin, a vendor originally from Uttar Pradesh. Having moved to Panchkula 18 years ago, Jalal has become a familiar face around the Mansa Devi and Saketri temples, setting up his stall every Shivratri. On a hot July afternoon, Jalal arranges colorful toy fans at his stall. Nearby, Seema, whose father has a prasad stall at Mansa Devi since 2005 and has set up a stall at Saketri for Shivratri, teases him: "You're selling a toy fan, but you yourself are sitting in this heat!" The two share a hearty laugh before Seema returns to attend to a customer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo These everyday interactions reflect a deep-rooted bond that has only strengthened over time. Kanta Rani, who sells prasad just across from a shop owned by Anwar Mohammad, says, "When there's a rush in the temple at night, these boys, including Anwar, help us manage the crowd. They hold sticks and allow people in batches, so things remain orderly." Anwar Mohammad, whose family runs four shops outside the mandir, shares a touching anecdote, "When there's a wedding in our community, the temple committee lends us utensils without hesitation. We help each other, that's how it has always been." KD Sharma, the Pradhan of the temple, echoes this sentiment with pride. "The Muslim community here is always ready to help, during big festivals or whenever we need them. We don't see differences. We live and work together." As the temple bells chime and incense diffuses through the air, the real offering at Saketri isn't just flowers or milk to Lord Shiva, it's the shared respect and brotherhood that bring these communities closer, year after year. Jalal, watching the evening crowd begin to gather, quietly says, "I have three children to feed and a family to support. That is my religion."
