Sawan month is considered one of the most sacred months of the year according to the Hindu calendar. It is the fifth month in the Hindu calendar.
But why is this month called Shravan? It is believed that in Poornima or on the full moon or at any time during this month, Sravan Nakshatra or the star controls the sky which is why, this moon gets its name from this nakshatra.

The Importance of Lord Shiva in the Moon of Shravan (Sawan)
Samudra Manthan is the most important episode according to each Putana. The explosion of the sea, which is Samudra Manthan in search of amrit, occurred during the month of Shravan. During the uproar, 14 different rubies appeared in the ocean. Thirteen rubies were separated between deas and asuras, however, Halahal, the 14th ruby ​​remained untouched because it was the most deadly poison that could destroy the universe and a living creature. King Shiva drank Halahal and kept the poison in his throat. As a result of the toxicity, his throat turned blue and he was called Neelkantha.
Such was the toxic effect of King Shiva wearing the moon on his head and all the loved ones began to offer water to the holy river Ganges to King Shiva to reduce the effects of the poison. Both events took place at Shravan Maas and therefore, it is considered the best way to dedicate the sacred water of the Ganga to Lord Shiva this month.
