As per the Hindu Mythology, during the churning of the ocean (Samundra Manthan), Lord Shiva drank the deadly poison \u201cHalahal\u201d to save the universe. So, the devotees offer sacred Ganga Jal to Shivlings during this time and thank Lord Shiva for saving us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mondays during the month of Shravan (Sawan) are known as \u201cSawan Somvar\u201d and are very auspicious.
