Pradosh Vrat is a sacred fast dedicated to Lord Shiva, observed on the Trayodashi (13th day) of both the Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha every month. According to Hindu scriptures, the time when Trayodashi coincides with Pradosh Kaal (evening twilight) is considered highly auspicious for worshiping Lord Shiva. On this day, devotees perform a detailed puja for Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is believed that Lord Shiva’s blessings help devotees overcome hardships, bring prosperity into their lives, and fulfill their wishes.
