Ends16 Mar, 1:40 PM
ObservancePradoṣa-kāla, the hour around dusk

Pradosh Vrat: the Trayodaśī fast sacred to Śiva, kept at the pradoṣa-kāla around sunset, twice each lunar month. Dates, timings, and how it is observed, computed for your location.

How to keep the fast

A fast is kept through the day; Śiva is worshipped in the pradoṣa-kāla, the hour and a half around sunset, his most auspicious window. It takes a special name from its weekday (Soma, Bhauma, Śani Pradoṣa).

Breaking the fast, Broken after the pradoṣa-kāla (sunset) worship.
