Ever noticed how Sawan arrives and suddenly Shiva temples are full of people praying for love, marriage and a happy relationship? It may seem like an unusual combination at first. After all, Sawan is primarily associated with devotion to Lord Shiva. But look a little closer and there is a beautiful love story sitting right at the centre of these traditions. The relationship between Shiva and Parvati is often seen as a powerful symbol of love, commitment, patience and partnership. Their story is one reason Sawan became closely associated with prayers for marriage and romantic fulfilment. So, what exactly does Sawan have to do with love?
