Pradosh means the dusk of the early night or evening tide. This fast is observed in the evening twilight, and so it is called Pradosh Vrat. It is observed on the 13th day of each lunar fortnight. It is practiced to propitiate Lord Shiva, in order to obtain his blessings and boons leading to fulfillment of one's cherished desired and spiritual upliftment.Those who practice it with unflinching faith and devotion are bound to possess wealth, health, happiness.
When Pradosh vrat falls on Monday it is called Som Pradosh, on Tuesday it is called Bhaum Pradosh and on Saturday it is called as Shani Pradosh. Of all the pradosha’s Shani Pradosh and Som Pradosh are considered to be the important vratas.
