Sawan and Monday Shiv Puja at Home: A Simple Abhishek and Choosing an Idol
by TOHFA · 9 Oct 2026
Shiva is worshipped on Mondays by many devotees, and the month of Sawan, also called Shravan, is especially dear to Shiva's followers, with fasting on Mondays and temple visits. At home, a simple practice is enough.
A simple abhishek
Abhishek is the ritual bathing of the deity. At home, many people pour water, and in some traditions milk, over the Shivling or the image. Follow it with a few drops of honey or curd, if your tradition includes them, and then clean water. Offer bel leaves, which are dear to Shiva, and a flower, light a lamp and chant Om Namah Shivaya.
Offerings
Bel patra, white flowers, dhatura in some traditions, milk and fruit. Practices vary by family and region.
Fasting
Many devotees fast on Mondays in Sawan, taking only fruit or a single meal. This is a personal choice, so follow your health and your family's tradition.
Which form
The Shiv Parivaar shows Shiva with Parvati and their sons. Ardhanarishvara shows Shiva and Parvati as one. Natraj shows the cosmic dancer. Each has its own meaning, and you can choose by what draws you.
Small and portable
A Shiv foldable pocket temple or a Shiv Parivaar photo frame is a light addition for a desk or a travelling kit.
Date
Sawan begins on different dates in different calendars, so check a panchang for the correct timing in your region.
