Sawan Grahan 2026 Date: The month of Sawan is the most sacred month for the worship of Lord Shiva. At this time, devotees of Shiva try to please Mahadev through fasting, chanting, penance and worship and get his blessings. This year, the month of Sawan will start from 30th July and will continue till 28th August 2026.

The month of Saavan is the most sacred and auspicious month in Hindu religion, in which the atmosphere all around becomes Shiva-like and chants of Bam-Bam Bhole and Har-Har Mahadev are heard everywhere. Through fasting and worship, spiritual energy is maintained throughout the month. But this time there is going to be darkness of eclipse twice in the month of Saavan. There is going to be a shadow of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse in the month of Saavan.

Apprehensions often arise in people’s minds regarding eclipse, because in astrology and religion the event of eclipse is not considered auspicious. At the same time, two eclipses occurring within an interval of just 15 days are considered dangerous from religious and astrological point of view. In such a situation, it is important to know whether two eclipses in Saavan is really an alarm bell?

Coincidence of two eclipses in Sawan (Sawan Grahan 2026)

Dr. Anish Vyas, director of Pal Balaji Astrology Institute, Jaipur, Jodhpur and a well-known astrologer of the country, says that the last solar eclipse and lunar eclipse of the year is going to occur in the month of Sawan itself. Even though this is a normal phenomenon from astronomical point of view. But in astrology and mythological beliefs, the event of eclipse is considered to be an indicator of major changes, upheaval or crisis for the zodiac sign, world, weather and politics.

When two eclipses occur at an interval of 15 days, it is seen as an inauspicious combination. It is believed that when Rahu and Ketu afflict both the Sun and the Moon in a short time interval (15 days), the impact of negative energy can increase. According to mythological texts and beliefs, if two eclipses occur within 15 days, it can create situations like economic troubles, inflation, natural disasters or war for the people.

It is said that even before the Mahabharata war, there was a coincidence of two eclipses within 15 days. Religious activities are completely banned during the eclipse period, but this period is considered special for chanting mantras and introspection. At the same time, both the eclipses occurring in August will not be visible in India, hence it will not have much negative impact. But this could be an important transformative time for the country and the world.
