Pradosh Vrat, or Pradosham, is a significant Hindu observance dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is celebrated on the Trayodashi Tithi, the 13th day of the waxing (Shukla Paksha) and waning (Krishna Paksha) moon phases in the Hindu lunar calendar.
The word "Pradosh" means "removal of sins." Devotees believe that observing this fast with devotion can help cleanse their sins and bring prosperity, health, and spiritual growth. It is believed that observing this vrat pleases Lord Shiva, who grants his devotees health, wealth, and happiness. The vrat is considered a powerful way to purify one's mind, body, and soul, helping to remove negative karma. Devotees observe Pradosh Vrat to fulfill their desires and seek blessings for a harmonious and prosperous life.
The fast typically involves abstaining from food and water from sunrise until after the evening puja during the Pradosh Kaal, which spans from about 1.5 hours before to 1 hour after sunset. Devotees perform rituals such as the abhishekam (sacred bath) of the Shiva Lingam, offering Bilva leaves, flowers, and chanting mantras like "Om Namah Shivaya." Pradosh Vrat is especially powerful in fulfilling wishes, removing obstacles, and bestowing health, wealth, and spiritual purity.
