Shravana Krishna Chaturdashi (Purnimanta) · Shravana Shivaratri / Masik Shivaratri / Sawan Ki Shivratri · Chaturdashi Tithi 31 Jul 23:00 IST – 1 Aug 19:22 IST · Nishita Kaal puja 00:00 – 00:45 IST on the night of 31 Jul (Hyderabad)
Sawan Shivaratri 2027 (also called Shravana Shivaratri / Masik Shivaratri / Sawan Ki Shivratri) falls on Saturday, 31 July 2027. Sawan Shivaratri is the monthly Shivaratri that falls inside Shravana, the month most closely associated with Shiva. It ranks immediately after Maha Shivaratri in importance, and it is the night on which the Kanwar pilgrims who have carried Ganga water on foot for days finally pour it over the Shiva Linga. The observance is a night one: the tithi that matters is the Chaturdashi that spans the Nishita hour, which is why the vrat is kept on 31 July even though the tithi begins late that evening. Primary observance: Fast through the day on fruit and milk, Bilva patra and Gangajal abhishekam of the Linga, four prahara puja through the night with Rudram, Panchakshari japa and Shiva Tandava Stotram, Maha Mrityunjaya recitation at Nishita, night vigil with bhajans, and parana after sunrise the following morning. Recommended muhurat: Chaturdashi Tithi 31 Jul 23:00 IST – 1 Aug 19:22 IST · Nishita Kaal puja 00:00 – 00:45 IST on the night of 31 Jul (Hyderabad).
