The month of Sawan is especially known for the worship of Lord Shiva in Sanatan Dharma. This month is considered a symbol of rain, greenery, and beauty. Each day of Sawan is full of spiritual energy and provides devotees with a special opportunity to be in the proximity of Shiva. Especially women do makeup like green clothes, green bangles, bindi, and mehndi in this month.

This makeup is not only a means of beauty, but also a symbol of faith, devotion, and dedication to Goddess Parvati. It is believed that religious conduct done in Sawan is soon fruitful, and special blessings of the gods and goddesses are received. This tradition is deeply connected from a religious, mythological, and cultural point of view. Let us know the spiritual reasons and religious beliefs behind women wearing green in Sawan.
1. Symbol of greenery and connection with nature
The month of Sawan is a symbol of the rainy season. At this time, the trees and plants become green, new crops start growing in the fields, and greenery spreads all around. Women welcome this natural beauty and prosperity by wearing green. This color is a symbol of life, energy, and hope. By wearing green clothes, women express their participation in this cycle of nature.
2. Wishing good luck and a long life to the husband
According to religious belief, the color green is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and peace. Married women wear green bangles, a saree, and mehndi in Sawan and pray to Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati for their husband's long life and a happy married life. Unmarried girls also wear green color and observe a fast to get a good groom.
3. Relation with the story of Shiva-Parvati
According to mythology, Mother Parvati did a rigorous penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband, which was completed in the month of Shravan. Special worship is done in Sawan as a symbol of her penance. According to religious belief, Mother Parvati also loves green color, so women try to please the goddess by wearing this color.
4. Symbol of coolness and peace of mind
The green color provides peace to the mind and body. This color gives coolness to the eyes and reduces mental stress. The atmosphere becomes heavy due to continuous rain and humidity in Sawan; in such a situation, wearing green clothes helps in keeping the mind happy.

5. Part of folk traditions and festivals
Sawan is full of festivals like swing, folk songs, Kajri, Teej. Women's makeup has special importance in all these. On these occasions, by wearing green makeup, women perform cultural traditions and create an atmosphere of harmony and joy in the society.
