As it is well known, the Monday fast is observed in the name of Lord Shiva. The word somvar comes from the Sanskrit word sank, which meaning "moon" or "Hindu deity moon." Lord Shiva is also known as 'Someshwar' because of the crescent moon that adorns his hair. Lord Someshwar is done on Monday to satisfy Someshwar, and this also fulfils his demands. Even though this fast is observed on any Monday, the Hindu calendar mentions a special calendar in which Monday is particularly popular on the New Moon Day. Yes, the first Monday after the new moon in any month is quite popular. Fasting on Monday is considered quite good when a moon day or new moon does not fall on Monday. It's also known as 'Somvati Amavasya.'
