Today is a first day of Shravan month. Shravan month is dedicated to Lord Shiva and considered to be a holiest month in the Hindu calendar due to the many festivals that are celebrated during this time like Krishna Janmashtami, Raksha Bandhan, Nag Panchami etc. Many devotees take strict fasting for god shiva for whole month of shravan. Whereas some devotee plan to take fasting in every monday of this month. So my today post is fasting recipe to welcome this holy month.
