Shiva Puran 7 37-42.mp4-177
Pradosham or Pradosh vratham is an auspicious vrata dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is observed on the thirteenth day of both fortnights (Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha) in Hindu calendar.
Shivalinga puja at Pradosha Kaala time and observance of fasting are the main rituals of Pradosham day.
In all Pradosha vratas, Shani Pradosha and Soma Pradosham are the important days. Pradosham which falls on Shanivara (Saturday) is Shani Pradosh and on Somavara (Monday) is Soma Pradosham. Bhauma Pradosham which falls on Bhaumavara (Tuesday) is also considered auspicious.
Four Soma Pradosha Vrata, Two Shani Pradosha Vrata and Three Bhauma Pradosha will be observed on 2026.
