Luto Falne din
Today is also considered as luto falne di, let me deliver a precise focus on this prospect. As the Sun is in Cancer during the month of Shravan, the heat is extreme and it is constantly raining, so people are more likely to get drenched in the water when moving around. This is not an indoor month, irrigation and plantation are done underneath the open sky where people have to play with mud, water, and natural integrals.

Therefore, the effect of heat and rain during the rainy months, and skin and skin-related diseases such as rashes, herpes, scabies, or sores are very likely to occur. In this context, Saune Sankranti is also considered a day of curing or eliminating scabies or luto. People take a dip in rivers and apply medicinal soils to the body and medicinal herbs to eliminate scabies or probable skin diseases. May this day deliver healthy skin and a pure heart, may you smile and chant Lord Shiva.

Sombare Aunshi has a specific significance in Nepal, this dates back to January 2, 1990, when an earthquake of 8.4 Richter scale struck Nepal. This day was Monday no moon day or Monday Aaunshi. And that Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu were in the same zodiac sign.
