Many Hindus observe fasts and perform Pujas during the month, especially on Monday. The fasts done on Monday are known as Shravan Somwar Vrat.
Some people chant the Shiva Mantras like Om Namashivaya and Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra through out the day whereas others keep Maun Vrat. Many devotees also read Shiva Purana on this day. Many people wear only white clothes during the fast.
Lord Shiva is considered to be the most powerful deity. Women often fast during the Mondays, or Shravan Somwars in order to get the perfect marital match.
Fasting during Mondays of the Shravan Maas will also help expel negativity in and around us. Good health and prevention of any form of evil is a benefit of observing the Shravan Somwar Vrat. This is the main reason why people fast during Shravan Somwar.
