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. |
