Pradosh Vrat Calendar

Pradosh Vrat is a fast dedicated to Lord Shiva, kept on Trayodashi — the thirteenth lunar day — of both the waxing and waning fortnights, so it recurs twice in every lunar month. Worship is offered during Pradosh Kaal, the twilight around sunset. This calendar lists the upcoming Pradosh Vrat dates for your city, each with its weekday name and Pradosh Kaal window. No birth details are required.

When Pradosh Vrat falls and how it is observed

  • Trayodashi timing — the vrat is kept on the thirteenth tithi of both Shukla and Krishna paksha, so it comes twice in every lunar month.
  • Pradosh Kaal — the puja is performed in the twilight around sunset (roughly the hour and a half bracketing it), which is why the exact timing depends on your location.
  • Dedicated to Shiva — devotees fast through the day and worship Lord Shiva and Parvati during Pradosh Kaal, offering water and bilva leaves and lighting a lamp.
  • Many keep a nirjala (without water) or phalahar (fruit) fast and break it after the evening Shiva puja.

Weekday Pradosh Vrats and their names

The weekday on which a Trayodashi falls gives that Pradosh its name and its particular emphasis, and classical tradition holds each variant especially fruitful for a specific intention.

  • Soma Pradosh (Monday) — kept for health, peace of mind and the fulfilment of wishes.
  • Bhauma or Mangal Pradosh (Tuesday) — for relief from illness, debt and Mangal-related troubles.
  • Budh Pradosh (Wednesday) — for learning, intellect and success in one's efforts.
  • Guru Pradosh (Thursday) — for warding off enemies and gaining ancestral blessings.
  • Shukra Pradosh (Friday) — for marital harmony, prosperity and good fortune.
  • Shani Pradosh (Saturday) — for progeny, longevity and relief from Shani afflictions.
  • Ravi or Bhanu Pradosh (Sunday) — for good health and a long life.

How to use the Pradosh Vrat calendar

  1. Enter your city: Set your location so each Pradosh Vrat date and its Pradosh Kaal are calculated for your correct sunset and timezone.
  2. See the upcoming dates: Review the list of upcoming Pradosh Vrat dates, each showing its weekday name and Pradosh Kaal window.
  3. Plan your vrat: Note the Pradosh Kaal timing for your chosen date and prepare your fast and Shiva puja for that evening.

Frequently asked questions

What is Pradosh Vrat?

Pradosh Vrat is a fast dedicated to Lord Shiva observed on Trayodashi, the thirteenth lunar day of each fortnight, so it falls twice every lunar month. Devotees worship Shiva during Pradosh Kaal, the twilight period around sunset.

What is Pradosh Kaal?

Pradosh Kaal is the auspicious twilight window around sunset — roughly the hour and a half bracketing it — when the Pradosh puja is offered. Because it is tied to sunset it varies by date and location, which is why this calendar is set for your city.

Why do Pradosh Vrats have different names like Shani Pradosh?

A Pradosh takes its name from the weekday on which the Trayodashi falls — for example Soma Pradosh on Monday or Shani Pradosh on Saturday. Each weekday variant is traditionally kept for a particular blessing, such as Shani Pradosh for progeny and relief from Saturn's afflictions.
