Sravana Masam 2025, one of the most spiritually powerful months in the Hindu calendar, begins on Friday, July 25, 2025, and ends on Saturday, August 23, 2025. It is considered highly sacred for performing various vratams, pujas, and devotional practices. The month is devoted to both Lord Shiva and Goddess Lakshmi, with devotees performing rituals with great faith and discipline. Women, in particular, observe multiple vratams during this month seeking blessings for family well-being and prosperity.

One of the unique aspects of Sravana Masam 2025 is the presence of five Fridays, making it extra auspicious for Lakshmi-related worship. These Fridays are:

• July 25, 2025

• August 1, 2025

• August 8, 2025

• August 15, 2025

• August 22, 2025

Among these, August 8, 2025, holds special significance as it is the day of Varalakshmi Vratam, a sacred observance performed on the Friday before the full moon (Pournami) in Sravana Masam. This vratam is widely celebrated by married women for the prosperity, health, and well-being of their families. Devotees wake up early, decorate their homes, prepare offerings, and perform the vratam with devotion to invoke the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
