Along with this, Sawan is also considered a very auspicious month for religious work. This time the month of Sawan is going to be very special for the devotees of Shiva.

According to the Panchang, this time Sawan will be of 2 months and the devotees of Shiva will worship Lord Shiva for the whole 2 months. On the other hand, a fast will be observed for 8 Mondays in Sawan. In fact, this year Sawan will be of 59 days whereas usually every year the month of Sawan is of 30 days and 4-5 Monday fasts are observed in Sawan.

But this time in Panchang Vikram Samvat 2080 (Vikram Samvat 2080) Adhikamas is falling, in which this year there will be full 13 months and Sawan will be of 59 days. Such a coincidence has happened after 19 years, in which Sawan will be of 2 months.

This year Sawan will start from Tuesday 04 July 2023 and will end on Thursday 31 August 2023. In such a situation, Sawan will be of full 59 days.

In the calculation of Vedic calendar, on the basis of solar and lunar month, there are 354 days in a lunar month. And there are 365 days in the solar month. There is a difference of 11 days in the solar and lunar month and in this case it becomes a total of 33 days in a gap of 3 years.

In this way, after every third year i.e. in the fourth year, an additional month of these 33 days is formed. The adjustment of these 33 days is called Adhik Maas (Adhik Maas 2023). This time Adhikamas will be adjusted from two months of Sawan.
