Shravan Somwar (Amavasyanta)

Also written Shravani somvar, Shravana somavara, Sawan somwar maharashtra, श्रावणी सोमवार, ಶ್ರಾವಣ ಸೋಮವಾರ.

The Mondays of Shravan in the amavasyanta reckoning Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South share, kept as a fast for Shiva.

The same observance as Shravan Somwar, read in the other month system: the amavasyanta Shravan begins at the new moon, a fortnight after the northern purnimanta Sawan opens at the full moon — so the two series of Mondays sit about fifteen days apart and usually share only their middle two. In a year with an adhik Shravan the fast is kept through both months.
