Why is Shravana Masa so special for Lord Shiva?
Shravana is considered the holiest month of the year for Lord Shiva. It is believed that during the Samudra Manthan, Shiva drank the halahala poison in this month; devotees offer abhishekam, bilva leaves and fasting (vrat) to seek his grace, health, and removal of doshas.
