Sawan 2026 Hindu fasts

Entities: Mangla Gauri Vrat · Lord Shiva · Sawan (Hindu month) · India · Goddess Parvati

Overview

The Hindu month of Sawan in 2026 is scheduled to run from 30 July to 28 August, featuring four traditional Monday fasts observed throughout the period.

On 4 August, the first Mangla Gauri Vrat of the month begins. Married women fast to seek marital harmony and blessings for their families. The day is marked by the coincidence of three rare yogas—Saararth Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi and Ravi Yoga—considered to make the observance especially potent. Rituals include early‑morning bathing, wearing auspicious colours, offering sweets and fruits, and strict dietary restrictions until the evening puja. The fast is celebrated across India as part of the broader Sawan festivities.
