This explains the importance of vrats and our heads bow with devotion at the holy feet of the Sages who created these vrats. Shravani somvar In the month of Shravan, on every Monday (somvar) one should go to a temple of God Shankar and perform puja. If possible, one should undertake a complete fast. Otherwise one should undertake a nakta-vrat. This pleases God Shankar and Shivsayujya Mukti (merging of self in God Shiva) is attained. Mangalagour ‘Mangalagour’ is a Deity which bestows long life to the husband.
This vrat, which consists of puja of the Deity Mangalagour, should be performed by a newly-wed woman. It is expected to be continued for five to seven years after marriage on every Tuesday in the month of Shravan. Puja of Lord Shiva and Lord Ganapati is performed along with Gouri in this vrat. Jivantikapujan This vrat is observed on every Friday of the Hindu lunar Shravan month. The deity associated with this vrat is Jivantika, that is, Jivati Devi.

In this vrat, on the first Friday of Shravan, women draw a picture of deity Jivati on the wall with sandalwood and worship it. Nowadays printed picture is worshipped. Five married women ( suhagan) having children, are invited to the house and after applying turmeric and vermillion on their forehead milk, sugar and roasted grams are given to them as holy sacrament ( prasad).
On the last Friday of the bright fortnight ( Shukla Paksha) of Shravan a vrat is observed, that is D.

In South Bharat, Varadalakshmi vrat is observed on the last Friday of the bright fortnight ( Shukla Paksha) of the Ashadh month. People believe that in the temples of Tiruvadi, Tiruvayur and Tiruputtur, Goddess Lakshmi herself worshipped Lord Shiv. Therefore these temples have special significance for the observance of this vrat. Begetting a son, prosperity and obtaining wealth and grains are the fruits of observing this vrat. Kajjali Trutiya This vrat is observed on Shravan Krushna Trutiya. The deity associated with this vrat is Srivishnu.
This vrat is also known as ‘ Satudi Teej’. At some places this vrat is observed on Bhadrapad Krushna Trutiya.

Shravani ritual It is also known as Upakarma or Rishitarpan. The ritual of Shravani is associated with the learning of the Vedas. Two rituals performed associated with the learning of Vedas are • Utsarjan ritual, that is, giving up of the Vedas • Upakarma ritual, that is, accepting of the Vedas Upakarma vidhi is performed before commencing learning of Vedas. On the day of Shravani the sequence of studies for the next year is determined only after performing the Upakarma vidhi.
