Shrawan Maas 2011

The Holy month of Shrawaan Maas has started on Saturday 16th July 2011 and will last for 29 days this year, culminating on Saturday 13th August 2011 (Raksha Bandhan). Shiv Abhishek are being held twice daily at 5 am and 6 pm under the leadership and guidance of Acharya Vijay Joshi.





A different samaan is offered on each day of prayer while different types of juices are used for the daily abhishek. Lots of devotees have been participating in the prayers and the preferred days are usually when lamps (diyas) and money are offered. It is worth noting that some devotees do perform all of the 29 abhishek and fast for the whole month of Shrawan.
