🌿 The Soul of Mithila: Madhushravani Festival मधुश्रावणी

ByRatnesh Jha April 30, 2025April 30, 2025

Madhushravani is a sacred festival celebrated primarily by newly married Maithil women in the Mithila region of Bihar and parts of Nepal. It falls during the Hindu month of Shravan (July–August) and spans 15 days of spiritual discipline, storytelling, and nature worship.

The central theme of this festival is the bond between nature, mythology, and marital harmony. Women observe fasts, perform rituals, and listen to the legendary tales of Naag and Mansa Devi, believed to protect families from evil and ensure long married life.

Women create clay idols of snakes and offer flowers, turmeric, curd, and rice. The rituals symbolize prosperity, healing, and balance with nature — values deeply embedded in Mithila culture.

🔸 The final day includes a symbolic clay pot immersion and sacred thread-wearing ceremony, affirming blessings from nature gods and ancestors.

At MithilaOnline, we honor this divine blend of ritual, storytelling, and womanhood.

मधुश्रावणी मिथिलाक नवविवाहित महिलाक एक विशेष पर्व छी, जे श्रावण मासमे १५ दिन तक चलैत अछि। एहि पर्वमे महिला अपन सौभाग्य, स्वास्थ्य आ वैवाहिक जीवनक दीर्घता लेल व्रत, कथा आ पूजा करैत छथि।
