Pradosh Vrat 2025: According to the Hindu Panchang, Pradosh Vrat is observed twice a month, on the Trayodashi of both the Krishna and Shukla Paksha. This sacred fast is believed to absolve devotees of sins and free them from life’s hardships. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the vrat is considered a powerful means to attain moksh and bring peace and prosperity into one’s home.
