Lord Shiva, after consuming Halahala during Samudra Manthan, found solace in the moonlight of Monday—forever binding the day to healing and remembrance.
Shiva Puranas, echoing through palm-leaf breaths, etched Mondays as the doors through which bhakti enters and ego exits.
Fasting, on Mondays, became a ritual offering—where hunger is silenced so the soul can echo Shiva’s stillness.
Chandrama, adorned upon Shiva’s matted locks, wanes and waxes with Monday’s tide—marking time in devotion’s pulse.
Folklore, sung from temple bells to Himalayan caves, carried the Monday myth like sacred smoke—unfolding Shiva's presence across dialects and dreams.
