Significance Of Worshipping Lord Shiva On Pradosh
New Delhi: Pradosh Vrat, one of the most revered observances in Hinduism dedicated to Lord Shiva, will be observed twice in November 2025.

According to Sanatan Dharma, Lord Shiva, also known as Aghaddani the one who bestows happiness and removes sorrows showers special grace upon those who keep the Pradosh Vrat with faith and sincerity.
As per Drik Panchang, the first Pradosh Vrat of November 2025 will be observed on Monday, November 3, 2025. The Trayodashi Tithi begins at 5:07 AM on November 3 and continues until 2:05 AM the next day.

The second Pradosh Vrat of the month will also fall on a Monday, November 17, 2025. The Trayodashi Tithi for this date begins at 4:47 AM on November 17 and concludes at 7:12 AM on November 18. The ideal time for performing the Pradosh Puja on this day is between 5:27 PM and 8:07 PM.
Since both Pradosh fasts in November fall on a Monday, they are observed as Som Pradosh Vrats, considered especially auspicious for devotees of Lord Shiva.
When Pradosh Vrat coincides with a Monday, it is called Som Pradosh, which holds immense spiritual importance. Monday, or Somvar, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Chandra Dev (the Moon God). It is believed that observing a fast on this day helps devotees attain mental peace, emotional balance, and prosperity.
According to ancient scriptures, observing Som Pradosh helps remove negative energies, relieves stress and anxiety, and purifies the mind and soul. Devotees believe that this vrat fulfills heartfelt desires, ensures a happy married life, and strengthens familial harmony.
Devotees observing the Pradosh fast usually begin their day with an early morning bath and offer prayers to Lord Shiva. Many choose to abstain from food until evening, while others consume only fruits and milk.
