July Festival Calendar 2024: July includes two Hindu months: Ashadha and Sawan. Both of these months hold significant importance in Sanatan Dharma. In Ashadha, Lord Vishnu enters a four-month yog nidra, allowing Lord Shiva to rule over the planet. That is why, following Ashadha, a special devotion to Lord Shiva is performed at Sawan.
This year, the holy month of Sawan will begin on July 22 and conclude on August 19. Chaturmas will begin on the day of Devshayani Ekadashi on July 17, and conclude on November 12, 2024. Many significant planets' zodiac signs will change in July, and several fasts and festivals will also fall during the month. Furthermore, the auspicious coincidence of three Ekadashi fasts happening in the same month is also happening in July.
Check out the dates for special days, vrat and tyohar in July month.
