Which Deity to Worship Each Day During Shravana Maasam? A Day-Wise Guide
Shravana Maasam holds a sacred place in Hindu tradition. It is a month of intensified devotion, fasting, and spiritual discipline. Each day in this auspicious month is dedicated to a specific deity, and worship during this time is believed to multiply divine blessings.
This guide offers a day-by-day breakdown of which deity to worship during Shravana Maasam and the significance behind each practice.
Monday (Somavaram): Lord Shiva
Mondays in Shravana Maasam are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees perform Rudrabhishekam and chant Shiva mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya” to seek his blessings for health, protection, and inner peace.
Participating in temple abhishekam or offering milk, bilva leaves, and water to a Shivalingam is especially meritorious during this period.
Tuesday (Mangalavaram): Goddess Gowri
Tuesdays are observed with the Mangala Gowri Vratam by married women. This vratam is performed to invoke the blessings of Goddess Parvati for a happy, long-lasting married life and family welfare.
Women prepare a sacred altar with turmeric, kumkum, and flowers, and offer traditional sweets to the goddess while reciting the Gowri Vratam katha.
Wednesday (Budhavaram): Lord Maha Vishnu
Midweek is a time to honor Lord Vishnu. Offer tulsi leaves, light a ghee lamp, and chant the Vishnu Sahasranamam or simple prayers like “Om Namo Narayanaya.”
Shravana Wednesdays are considered ideal for maintaining spiritual balance and for offering gratitude to the preserver of the universe.
Thursday (Guruvaram): Lord Satyanarayana
Thursdays are especially suited for performing the Satyanarayana Vratam, a ritual that invokes Lord Vishnu in his truthful form. Families gather to perform this vratam, read the katha, and offer prasadam like rava kesari.
This is one of the most popular rituals during Shravana Maasam, especially in Telugu households.
Friday (Shukravaram): Goddess Lakshmi
Fridays are auspicious for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, particularly in the form of the Varalakshmi Vratam. Women decorate a kalasam, invoke Lakshmi Devi, and offer fruits, flowers, and sweets.
The second Friday of Shravana Maasam is especially significant and is celebrated with great devotion in South India.
Saturday (Shanivaram): Lord Venkateswara and Lord Hanuman
Saturdays are ideal for worshipping Lord Venkateswara and Lord Hanuman. Devotees visit temples, perform archana, and chant Hanuman Chalisa or Suprabhatam.
Offering sesame oil lamps and reciting prayers helps reduce Shani dosha and brings mental strength and spiritual discipline.
