See this day on the patroWhat Saune Sankranti is
Saune Sankranti is the first day of Shrawan, when the Sun enters Karkat rashi and begins its southward course (Dakshinayan). The month that follows is dear to Shiva; many keep a fast on its Mondays. The day is also Luto Falne Din, when burning sticks are thrown from the house in the evening to drive skin ailments away.
How families keep it
Families bathe early, visit a Shiva temple and eat seasonal food together. Women wear green and yellow bangles and mehendi through the month.

Each date is the day Nepal keeps the festival. Nepal publishes its patro one year at a time, so a date further ahead can move by a day when that year's patro comes out. For a ceremony, Pandit Ji confirms the day and the muhurta.
