Shrawan, also known as Sawan, holds a special place in Hindu culture. It is the fifth month in the Hindu lunar calendar and typically falls between July and August in North India (or August and September in South India).

This year, Shrawan begins on July 22 and will conclude on August 19, which is also called Shrawan Purnima. This day also celebrates Rakshabandhan, a festival to commemorate the bond between brother and sister.
