According to Skanda Purana, Narada Muni asked Lord Shiva why he loved Savan month. Lord Shiva says Goddess Sati promised to be Lord Shiva's wife at every birth, even though her father didn't like this. When Shiva's father insulted him, Goddess Sati gave up the body. Dev was born as Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya and Naina. In this life, the Goddess also made Lord Shiva happy by fasting hard in the month of Sawan and then married him. So, sixteen Mondays are set aside for fasting in preparation for Lord Shiva's blessing in the month of Savan. Mythological writings have one more story. Many holy people and sadhus prayed to Lord Shiva in a city on the banks of the Kshipra River long ago.

Along with the poison, Halahal had the power to destroy the world and everything in it. Demons and gods were shocked when they saw it.
This month is a time for religious and spiritual practices. On the first Monday of each Sawan month, the followers fast. Mangla Gauri Vrat is a fast that women who are not married can also do on Tuesday to get the husband they want. Women who are already married can also do Mangla Gauri Vrat.
Sawan is also famous for the Kanwar yatra, a journey that followers of Lord Shiva take to bring the holy Ganga Jal from Gaumukh to Haridwar and other places where Maa Ganga goes. People who follow Kanwariya walk miles to get the Ganga Jal. Kanwariyas take Ganga Jal on their shoulders to give it to Lord Shiva on the day of Shivratri, which is on Triyodashi Tithi in Krishna Paksha in Shravan Maas.
