Actually Savan or Shravan is the month when it rains in certain parts of our country (which might not be the case in all parts though). Yes, certain states in North and Eastern India experience more rain during this month and have some festivals like rakshabandhan, Janmashtami, Kanwar yatra associated with Lord Shiva's marriage.

Janmashthmi is not in month Savan it is in Bhado, next to sawan. Sawan month is also known for worship of God Shiv.

In North India, the month starts from Purnima and ends on next purnima. So it started from next day of Guru Purnima and will end on sawan purnima that is celebrated as Raksha Bandhan.

Maharashtra, well we follow a different concept. Right now, we have the month of Ashadh which will end on the Amavasya and then Shravan will begin in which we have different festivals beginning with Nag Panchami, a celebration to honour and worship snakes to highlight their importance and significance for agriculture.
Nagara Panchami is an important festival here in Mangalore since the majority of the people were agriculturists in the olden days. This year it falls on the 15 August..we normally go to Kudupu a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Anantha Padmanabha and Subramanya , taking milk ,flowers and coconuts and other stuff as offerings on that day.

Is it only in Mangalore or whole of Karnataka? Because we celebrate in a similar way all over Maharashtra, most rural places, people used to worship live snakes but it is now banned as unscrupulous people started stitching up the snakes' mouths so most places clay statuettes of snakes are made

Interesting rituals. But what is the concept behind not allowing the mother in law and daughter in law to live together in the first shawan after marriage?

It may be harmful for mother-in-law.

Kalyani, it is celebrated all over Karnataka especially in smaller towns..at Kudupu temple there is a huge anthill where serpents reside and milk offering is made and I have seen one of the serpents once . They don't do anything , at least that's what the priests say anything

Swings ( sawan ke jhoole) is a tradition in North India too. People who have old traditional houses put the swing in their courtyard and enjoy it. The swing stays till Janamashtmi ( bhado month). The birth of baby Krishna is celebrated and then he offered the swing for another 7-11 days and then the swing is taken off.

We both are from North India and you are from my neighbor state so some ritual are same. Swing, Ghewar and Firni, but we do not weal yellow cloth and make yellow color rice. In Rajasthan yellow color is associated with Basant spring month. Here in Rajasthan women of Jaipur and nearby area wear sarees of lehnga make of Lehahriya work. These are multi color and have special design . See some Cloth of sarees and lehnga have design of waves. so it is called Lehariya.
