Chaturmas 2023: Chaturmas will start from Devshayani Ekadashi of Ashadh month. In Chaturmas, Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the world, stays in Yoga Nidra, his sleep lasts for 4 months in Patal. In such a situation, the reins of the world remain in the hands of Bholenath during Chaturmas. This is the reason why Shiva worship is more fruitful in Chaturmas.
It is a mythological belief that in the first month of Chaturmas, in Sawan (2023), Shiva leaves Kailash and comes to earth and operates the universe from here. Let us know where Lord Bholenath resides on earth in Chaturmas.

Chaturmas will start from 29 June 2023 and will end on 23 November 2023 on Devuthani Ekadashi. Chaturmas will last for 5 months due to excess month this year.
Shiva lives here on earth in Chaturmas
According to mythology, in the first month of Chaturmas i.e. Sawan, the Shiva family resides in their in-laws’ house in India. According to the scriptures, Shiva’s in-laws’ house is located in Kankhal of Haridwar, where the marriage of Mata Sati and Mahadev took place in the Daksh temple. Shiv ji resides in Kankhal in the form of Daksheshwar throughout the month of Shravan. A very interesting story is prevalent about Shiv ji coming to his in-laws house every year.
This incident happened after the fire of Goddess Sati
According to Shiva Purana, Daksha Prajapati, the father of Goddess Sati, had organized a famous Yagya in Kankhal, in which Bholenath was not invited but still Devi Sati went to the Yagya. There father Daksh said many bad words about Shiva. Goddess Sati could not tolerate the insult of her husband and sacrificed her life in the yagya. On the fire of Mata Sati, Lord Shiva’s Gan Virbhadra had cut off the head of Daksh Prajapati.
This is the reason for coming to earth from Kailash
Mahadev, the God of Gods, listening to the request of all the Gods, gave King Daksha life again by applying the head of a goat. King Daksh Prajapati apologized to Bholenath for his act and had taken a promise from Lord Shiva that he would reside here every year in Sawan, so that he could serve him. It is believed that since then Lord Shiva comes to the earth in the first month of Chaturmas and operates the universe from here.
