This allows cargo from mother ships to be transported directly by road, reducing logistics costs and travel time for exporters.

The month of Shravan is considered highly sacred for worshipping Lord Shiva. According to astrologer Chetan Patel, faith and consistency are more important than elaborate rituals. Key practices include offering water and Panchamrut to the Shivling, presenting Bilva leaves, and chanting the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 108 times, especially on Mondays. Performing Rudrabhishek, lighting a ghee lamp, and observing Shravan Somvar fasts are believed to fulfill all desires and bring divine blessings. https://gujarati.abplive.com/astro/dharam-jyotish/shravan-month-shiv-puja-vidhi-lord-shiva-worship-jalabhishek-bilvapatra-mahamrityunjaya-mantra-988968
