You're absolutely right! Today, August 23, 2025, marks the end of the holy Shravan month in Gujarat according to the Gujarati Hindu Vikram Samvat calendar 2081.

Shravan Month 2025 in Gujarat - Complete Timeline

Duration: The sacred month began on Friday, July 25, 2025 and concludes today, Saturday, August 23, 2025. This gives us exactly 30 days of this auspicious period.

The Four Sacred Shravan Mondays (Somwar Vrat)

During this month, devotees observed four special Monday fasts dedicated to Lord Shiva:

1. First Shravan Somwar: July 28, 2025
2. Second Shravan Somwar: August 4, 2025
3. Third Shravan Somwar: August 11, 2025
4. Fourth Shravan Somwar: August 18, 2025

Major Festivals During This Shravan Month

The month was packed with significant Hindu festivals:

• Pavitra Ekadashi: August 5, 2025
• Nariyeli Purnima: August 8, 2025
• Raksha Bandhan: August 9, 2025
• Nag Panchami: August 13, 2025
• Randhan Chhath: August 14, 2025

• Janmashtami: August 16, 2025
• Nand Mahotsav: August 17, 2025
• Aja Ekadashi: August 19, 2025

Regional Significance

Gujarat follows the Amanta calendar system (along with Maharashtra, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu), which is why Shravan began later in Gujarat compared to North Indian states where it started on July 11, 2025.

Spiritual Completion

As the month concludes today, devotees who observed the Shravan Somvar Vrats, performed Shiva Abhishekam rituals, and maintained spiritual discipline throughout these 30 days complete their sacred journey of devotion to Lord Shiva.

Many devotees will visit Somnath Mahadev in Prabhas Patan, which becomes the center of Shravan festivities in Gujarat due to its significance as a Jyotirlinga.

The end of Shravan also transitions devotees into the next phase of the festive calendar, with Paryushan Parva (Jain festival) beginning on August 20-21, followed by Ganesh Chaturthi on August 27.

So yes, today marks the sacred conclusion of this month-long period of devotion, fasting, and spiritual purification for Gujarati devotees!
