In 2025, Shravana Masam concludes on Saturday, August 23 as per the Amavasyant calendar followed in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.
However, in North Indian states, where the Purnimant calendar is used, Shravan month ends earlier—on August 9, 2025.

The final day, Shravana Amavasya—also known as Polala Amavasya or Pithori Amavasya—holds deep spiritual significance, especially in Telugu traditions, marking the culmination of a month-long devotion.

Why is Shravana Masam So Auspicious?

Shravana Masam is associated with the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean) described in Hindu scriptures. During this divine event:

• Lord Shiva consumed the deadly Halahala poison to save the universe, turning his throat blue and earning the name Neelkanth.
• Devotees worship Shiva with Bilva leaves, milk, and Rudrabhishekam to seek blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual progress.
• Goddess Lakshmi is also revered—particularly on Fridays—culminating in the grand celebration of Varalakshmi Vratam.

Shravana Masam is not just a month in the Hindu calendar—it is a sacred spiritual opportunity.
