Sawan Second Monday 2026: The second Monday of Sawan falls on August 10. Seven auspicious celestial alignments are coinciding on this day. While any Monday during Sawan is spiritually rewarding, these seven auspicious combinations make the second Monday of Sawan particularly significant. By observing a fast and performing worship on this day, you can please Lord Shiva; with His blessings, your wishes may soon be fulfilled. This day also holds special importance for Kanwar pilgrims ahead of Sawan Shivratri; *Jalabhishek* (ritual bathing of the deity with water) will be performed, and large crowds are expected at temples.

**Seven Auspicious Alignments on the Second Monday of Sawan**
On the second Monday of Sawan, a confluence of auspicious alignments is taking place: Som Pradosh Vrat, Ekadashi Paran, Trigrahi Yoga in Cancer (Karka Rashi), Budhaditya Yoga, Hansraj Yoga, Vajra Yoga, and Siddhi Yoga.

**Pradosh Vrat:** The second Monday of Sawan also marks the first Pradosh Vrat of the month. This fast is observed for Lord Shiva, and the worship takes place in the evening after sunset. The auspicious time for worship on this day begins at 7:05 PM. Observing the Pradosh Vrat helps eliminate sorrows, ailments, afflictions, sins, and hardships.

**Ekadashi Paran:** The second Monday of Sawan marks the *Paran* (breaking of the fast) for Kamika Ekadashi, which will take place after sunrise. On this day, the *Dwadashi Tithi* (12th lunar day) prevails until 8:00 AM, after which the *Trayodashi Tithi* (13th lunar day)—associated with Lord Shiva—begins.

**Trigrahi Yoga:** A *Trigrahi Yoga* (conjunction of three planets) is formed in the Cancer zodiac sign due to the alignment of the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. This yoga has been in effect since Mercury transited into Cancer on August 5. Individuals belonging to the Gemini, Cancer, and Virgo signs stand to gain significantly from this alignment.

**Budhaditya Yoga:** The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury in Cancer has created the *Budhaditya Rajyoga*, which will remain active on the second Monday of Sawan as well.

**Hansraj Yoga:** Currently, Jupiter (the Guru of the Gods) is positioned in the Cancer zodiac sign. This is his sign of exaltation (*Uchcha Rashi*). Due to this, *Hansraj Yoga* is being formed.

*Vajra Yoga*: On the second Monday of *Sawan*, *Vajra Yoga* will form in the morning and last until 10:27 PM. It is advised not to start new tasks or purchase items like vehicles or gold during this *Yoga*.

*Siddhi Yoga*: *Siddhi Yoga* begins at 10:27 PM on the second Monday of *Sawan* and continues until the following morning. Tasks undertaken during this period are believed to reach successful completion.

**Muhurat (Auspicious Time) for *Jalabhishek* on the Second Monday of *Sawan* 2026**
