Varanasi, 04 August (HS). On the eve of the third Monday of the month of Sawan, the city of Baba Vishwanath has been filled with Shiva since Sunday evening. With the chanting of Har-Har Mahadev, Bol-Bam, Shiva devotees have started lining up on the roads for darshan and worship at Shri Kashi Vishwanath Darbar. As the night falls, the queue will get longer. Shiva devotees will sing bhajans in the queue throughout the night. After Mangala Aarti in the Darbar at dawn, the process of darshan and worship will begin uninterrupted.
On the third Monday of Shravan month, a tableau of Baba's Ardhanarishwar form will be decorated in the court in the evening. There is a tradition of decorating Baba's Ardhanarishwar form with fragrant flowers on the third Monday of Sawan. This tableau is amazing and attractive. This decoration is done in the evening before Shringar Bhog Aarti.
It is worth noting that this time the third Monday of Shravan is in a special coincidence. Pratipada Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month is also on this day. According to astrologers, Vyatipat Yog is till 10:38 am, after that Vriyaan will start. This is considered an auspicious Yog. On the third Monday itself, Ashlesha Nakshatra is from morning till 03:21 pm.
