The month of Shravan (Sawan) is more than just a time of fasting and devotion—it’s a spiritual invitation to connect with the divine energy of Lord Shiva. From ancient jyotirlingas to mystical hill shrines, India is home to countless temples that come alive during this sacred month.
Whether you’re a devotee or a curious traveler seeking cultural depth, here are powerful Shiva temples to visit this Shravan that offer more than just darshan—they offer experience, energy, and enlightenment.
Baidyanath Dham, Deoghar (Jharkhand)
One of the 12 Jyotirlingas, Baidyanath Dham is a major center of devotion during Shravan. Every year, lakhs of Kanwariyas (pilgrims) walk barefoot from Sultanganj, carrying holy Ganga water to offer to Baba Baidyanath.
Kashi Vishwanath, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh)
Kashi is not just a city it’s a living organism of spirituality. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple is believed to be one of the holiest abodes of Lord Shiva, where he whispers moksha into the ears of the dying.
Trimbakeshwar Temple, Nashik (Maharashtra
Nestled in the Brahmagiri hills, Trimbakeshwar is a mystical Jyotirlinga temple where the source of the Godavari River originates. The temple’s unique feature: the lingam has three faces representing Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.
Amarnath Cave Temple (Jammu & Kashmir)
Located at 12,756 feet, the Amarnath Yatra is a physically demanding yet deeply transformative pilgrimage. Inside the cave, an ice stalagmite naturally forms into the shape of a Shiva Lingam.
Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh)
Mahakaleshwar is known as the ruler of time (Kal). This Jyotirlinga temple holds the powerful Bhasma Aarti, where ashes are offered to the lingam at 4 AM daily
Tungnath Temple, Chopta (Uttarakhand)
At 12,000 feet, Tungnath is part of the Panch Kedar and offers a divine trekking experience. It’s open only in summer months and Shravan is the perfect time for both spiritual energy and mountain beauty.
So pack your bags and let the road lead you to where Shiva resides—in temples, in chants, and in your heart.
