Vedic Glossary: Understanding Pradosham

Pradosh Kaal
The highly auspicious window of roughly 3 hours (1.5 hours before and 1.5 hours after sunset). Worshiping Shiva during this time is highly meritorious.
Trayodashi Tithi
The 13th lunar day of the Hindu calendar. The Pradosham fast is observed when Trayodashi prevails during the sunset (Pradosh Kaal).
Types of Pradosh
Named after the weekday, e.g., Soma Pradosham (Monday), Bhauma Pradosham (Tuesday), and Shani Pradosham (Saturday - considered the most powerful).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Pradosham date calculated?

According to Dharma Sindhu, Pradosham is observed on the day when Trayodashi Tithi overlaps with the sunset time (Pradosh Kaal).

Why is Shani Pradosham special?

A Pradosham falling on a Saturday is called Shani Pradosham or Maha Pradosham. It is believed that worshiping Lord Shiva on this day removes the malefic effects of Lord Shani (Saturn) from one's horoscope.

What if Trayodashi falls on two days during sunset?

If Trayodashi touches the Pradosh Kaal on two consecutive days, specific Shastra rules determine the primary fasting day based on the duration of overlap. Our calculator handles this logic automatically.
