On the occasion of the first Monday of the month of ‘Sawan’ (Shravan), a large number of devotees thronged various temples of Lord Shiva at different places in the country. The devotees were more enthusiastic and excited than before, as it was after two long years that they got to worship in the holy month by visiting the temple, as there were restrictions on gathering and visiting religious places amid the surge in the spread of Covid-19.
The temples in the country witnessed huge queues as the devotees visited the temples to worship on the first Monday.
One of the devotees at Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi said that people celebrate the occasion like a festival.
