Sawan in Kashi: A Month of Devotion, Faith, and Spirituality

 

Sawan in Kashi: A Month of Devotion, Faith, and Spirituality

Sawan, the most auspicious month in the Hindu calendar, holds immense significance in Varanasi (Kashi), the city of Lord Shiva. The entire city resonates with devotional chants, temple bells, and the overwhelming faith of thousands of devotees who gather to seek the blessings of Baba Vishwanath. The month of Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva, making Varanasi one of the most spiritually charged places to visit during this time.

Why is Sawan Special in Kashi?

The holy city of Varanasi is home to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. It is believed that during Sawan, Lord Shiva himself blesses his devotees and fulfills their wishes. The monsoon showers are considered sacred, as they symbolize prosperity and the divine grace of Mahadev.

Major Rituals and Celebrations During Sawan in Varanasi

1. Kanwar Yatra – The Journey of Devotion

One of the most remarkable events during Sawan is the Kanwar Yatra, where thousands of Shiva devotees, known as Kanwariyas, walk barefoot carrying holy water from the Ganges to offer at Shiva temples. The sight of saffron-clad devotees chanting "Har Har Mahadev" creates an electrifying spiritual atmosphere.

2. Rudrabhishek and Special Pujas at Kashi Vishwanath Temple

Throughout Sawan, Rudrabhishek (anointing Lord Shiva with milk, honey, ghee, and Ganga Jal) is performed at Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Devotees line up from the early hours of the morning to get a glimpse of Baba Vishwanath and offer their prayers.

3. Shravan Somwar (Mondays of Sawan)

Mondays of Sawan are considered highly auspicious. Devotees observe fasts and perform special pujas at Shiva temples. The Mangala Aarti (early morning aarti) at Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a mesmerizing experience during this time.

4. Ganga Snan & Evening Aarti

Taking a holy dip in the Ganges during Sawan is believed to cleanse one's sins. The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat becomes even more grand and divine as the city vibrates with devotion.

5. Mahadev Processions & Bhajan Kirtans

Various processions and bhajan-kirtan programs are organized across Varanasi, where devotees sing the praises of Lord Shiva, dance, and celebrate the divine month with utmost devotion.

Best Time to Visit Kashi During Sawan

The entire month is sacred, but the Mondays of Sawan and the last week leading to Sawan Purnima witness the grandest celebrations. Planning a trip during this time will ensure a spiritually enriching experience.

Tips for Visiting Varanasi During Sawan

• Arrive Early at Kashi Vishwanath Temple: The queues are long, so it’s best to reach before dawn.

• Wear Comfortable Attire: Cotton clothes and proper footwear are advisable for long temple visits.

• Book Your Stay in Advance: Varanasi sees a huge influx of devotees, so advance hotel booking is recommended.

• Respect Local Customs & Rituals: Maintain the sanctity of temples and ghats.
