Sawan Shivratri 2025 will be observed on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. On this day, devotees offer water and perform Rudrabhishek to seek Lord Shiva's blessings and wish fulfilment
The holy festival of Sawan Shivratri is celebrated every year on the Chaturdashi tithi of Krishna Paksha during the month of Sawan. This year, the festival will be observed on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. After Mahashivratri, this is considered the most important day to worship Lord Shiva during the monsoon month.
While devotees worship Shiva throughout the month of Sawan, Sawan Shivratri is believed to be especially auspicious and fruitful. On this day, devotees perform Jalabhishek (offering water on the Shivling) and Rudrabhishek rituals to seek blessings for peace, prosperity, happiness, and health.
Tithi and Yogas for Sawan Shivratri 2025
The Chaturdashi Tithi for Sawan Shivratri begins on July 23 at 4:39 AM and ends on July 24 at 2:28 AM. On this day, sunrise will occur at 5:37 AM and sunset at 7:17 PM. Vyaghata Yoga will last until 12:34 PM, while Ardra Nakshatra will remain in effect until 5:54 PM. The most auspicious time for Nishita Kaal Puja falls on the night of July 23, between 12:07 AM and 12:48 AM.
Jalabhishek Muhurta on Sawan Shivratri
The auspicious time to offer water to Lord Shiva on Sawan Shivratri begins from Brahma Muhurta, which on this day is from 4:15 AM to 4:56 AM. Devotees throng Shiva temples from early morning to perform Jalabhishek. The ritual continues throughout the day.
Rahukaal, offering prayers to Lord Shiva during this period is believed to remove Kaal Sarp Dosh. On this day, Kanwar Yatris especially perform Jalabhishek to Mahadev as part of their spiritual journey.
Rudrabhishek Muhurta on Sawan Shivratri
According to scriptures, Lord Shiva is present throughout the month of Sawan, making any time ideal for Rudrabhishek. However, performing the ritual on Sawan Shivratri is considered highly rewarding. Devotees may begin the Rudrabhishek after sunrise on July 23. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva with sincerity on this day helps fulfil wishes and brings divine blessings.
Auspicious Timings on Sawan Shivratri
While there is no Abhijeet Muhurta this year on Sawan Shivratri, several other shubh muhurats are available:
Morning Muhurta: 4:36 AM to 5:37 AM
Amrit Kaal: 8:32 AM to 10:02 AM
Vijay Muhurta: 2:44 PM to 3:39 PM
Evening Muhurta: 7:17 PM to 8:20 PM
Twilight Muhurta: 7:17 PM to 7:38 PM
Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja Time
Worshipping Lord Shiva during Rahukaal is considered highly beneficial for those suffering from Kaal Sarp Dosh. On July 23, Rahukaal is from 12:27 PM to 2:10 PM. Performing rituals during this time is believed to ward off the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu and bring peace and stability in life.
Bhadra Timings
On July 23, Bhadra will begin at 5:37 AM and end at 3:31 PM. However, since this Bhadra resides in Swarg Lok (heaven), it will have no negative effect on earthly activities. Therefore, all auspicious works can be performed on this day. Moreover, Bhadra, Rahukaal, etc., are not considered obstacles in the worship of Lord Shiva.
Devotees believe that worshipping Bholenath on Sawan Shivratri brings good fortune, wealth, health, and spiritual upliftment. It is a day when the faithful connect deeply with the divine and seek blessings for a better life.

Hariyali Amavasya 2025: Check date, tithi, significance, rituals and more
Hariyali Amavasya 2025: Hariyali Amavasya, or the Shravan Amavasya, is a celebration of life, nature, and gratitude. Amavasya, or the new moon day, holds profound spiritual significance in Hinduism, especially when it falls during the holy month of Shravan. It reflects the lush renewal of life during the monsoon season, and is symbolic of fertility, growth, and preparation for the future. Spiritually, it is considered a period for sowing good intentions and positive karma. Hariyali Amavasya 2025 will be observed on Thursday, July 24. It falls on the Amavasya, new moon day, in the month of Shravan, a sacred month in the Hindu calendar dedicated to Lord Shiva. The day typically arrives three days before the widely celebrated Hariyali Teej and is considered especially auspicious in North Indian states such as Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. Start of Amavasya Tithi: 2:28 AM, July 24 End of Amavasya Tithi: 12:40 AM, July 25 Hariyali Amavasya marks the onset of the monsoon season and symbolises nature's renewal and greenery—'Hariyali' means greenery, while 'Amavasya' refers to the new moon. Traditionally, this day is dedicated to praying for a good harvest, prosperity, and environmental well-being. It is widely believed that those who sincerely observe this day are granted peace of mind and divine blessings, especially from their ancestors, Lord Mahadeva and Goddess Parvati. On Hariyali Amavasya, devotees wake up early, bathe, and visit temples, particularly Shiva temples. Some observe fasts or offer food and clothes to the poor. Devotees, especially farmers, worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, offering prayers for fertility of the land and bountiful rains. Temples witness special pujas and Shiva Abhishekams, while people also plant trees and saplings, reinforcing the idea of living in harmony with nature. Pitru tarpan (ancestral offerings) is also performed to seek blessings from departed souls. In North-Indian regions like Rajasthan, Hariyali Amavasya is a major cultural event. Fairs and melas are organised. Women often swing on beautifully decorated swings hung on trees and sing traditional songs welcoming the rains. In Mathura and Vrindavan, the festival is associated with Lord Krishna, and devotees engage in devotional singing and community feasts. Begin the day before sunrise with a bath, either at home or in a sacred river or water body. Offer water (Arghya) to Surya Dev, the Sun God, as a gesture of gratitude and to seek blessings. Light a ghee lamp and offer seasonal fruits and sweets to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, invoking their divine grace and harmony. If possible, visit a nearby temple, especially during the auspicious Guru Pushya Yoga, and perform Gathbandhan rituals as a symbol of unity, love, and commitment. Extend compassion by feeding the poor, donating clothes or food, and supporting those in need; acts of charity are considered highly meritorious on this day. As the day comes to a close, offer Arghya to Chandra Dev, the Moon God, under the evening sky, seeking peace and emotional balance.

Residents struggle to reach temple on Shivratri due to waterlogged road in Gurugram
Residents and devotees in Rajendra Park, Sector 105, Gurugram, were forced to wade through stagnant, filthy water to offer prayers on the occasion of Shivratri on Wednesday, as the area outside the shrine in Block C remained waterlogged due to persistent sewer overflow and rainwater accumulation. The waterlogged street due to sewer overflow at block-C Rajendra Park near Shiv Mandir, Gurugram on Wednesday. (HT Photo) Women and elderly devotees could be seen navigating the dirty water, trying to keep themselves dry while reaching the steps of the temple. The waterlogged street raised serious concerns about hygiene and public health. 'Shivratri is a sacred day for us, and yet we are forced to walk through sewer water to reach the temple,' said a local woman who came to offer prayers early in the morning. Pushpa Devi, 50, a local resident said, 'Every year we celebrate Shivratri here. Women fast, pray, and offer water to Lord Shiva. But today, we had to walk through sewage to reach the temple. It feels heartbreaking. This is not just about inconvenience — it feels like we are disrespecting our own faith because of the condition we are in. No one should have to walk barefoot in this dirty water.' The problem is not new to the area. As reported earlier by residents through their complaints to MCG, they have been dealing with sewer line blockages and waterlogging for over six months. Complaints have been filed with the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), but no permanent solution has been provided so far. After the recent rains, the condition worsened, leaving several parts of the area waterlogged for days. The stagnant water has led many residents to consider shifting homes or leaving the locality altogether. 'Government promises are only on paper. This is not the first time we're facing this. Every monsoon, the same story repeats — dirty water collects outside our homes, making life miserable. Children fall sick, and elders can't even step outside. Now people are seriously thinking about moving out. Even festivals don't bring happiness anymore when we can't even reach our temple without stepping in sewage,' said Tulsi Ram Sharma, a long-time resident of the area. When asked about the issue, Sunder Sheoran, executive engineer, MCG, said, 'Our machines and teams have already been deployed for dewatering the area. The issue is linked to the sewage system. At night, the water gets drained, but it returns again during peak hours in the morning. We have already floated a tender for desilting the main line. Work is also ongoing on the main sewer lines that connect to the STP (Sewage Treatment Plant). A permanent solution is in progress.' Residents have once again appealed to the authorities for urgent and permanent measures to resolve the issue.
