Sawan 2026: Dietary Practices, Fasting Rules, and Health Tips for Devotees
The holy month of Sawan, dedicated to Lord Shiva, involves fasting and adopting a sattvic diet emphasizing purity and spiritual focus. Devotees avoid meat, fish, eggs, onions, garlic, alcohol, and processed foods, favoring fresh fruits, dairy, fasting grains, and light vegetarian dishes. Nutrition experts caution that traditional fasting foods can be calorie-dense, potentially causing weight gain if consumed excessively. They recommend mindful eating and healthier swaps to maintain both spiritual discipline and physical well-being during Sawan.
