Although two Pradosh Vrats are observed every month, March 2026 is set to witness a rare spiritual coincidence with three Pradosh fasts falling in the same month. The month will see one Ravi Pradosh Vrat and two Som Pradosh Vrats, making it especially significant for devotees of Lord Shiv.
March 1, 2026: Ravi Pradosh Vrat

Pradosh Kaal Puja Muhurat: 5:58 PM to 8:22 PM
Significance: This fast is considered especially beneficial for those seeking marriage, progeny, happiness, and prosperity. As Monday is associated with the Moon, Som Pradosh Vrat is also believed to reduce mental stress and mitigate Chandra Dosha.

According to the Shiv Puran:
“Trayodashyam tu sayahne pradoshah parikirtitah,
Tasminkale Mahadevam pujayet shraddhayanvitah.”
This verse explains that the evening of Trayodashi is known as Pradosh. Devotees should worship Lord Shiv with devotion during this sacred time. It represents the transitional period between day and night, considered highly powerful for spiritual practices. Worship performed during Pradosh is believed to absolve sins accumulated over lifetimes and bless devotees with children, prosperity, happiness, and long life
