About Pradosh Vrat
Pradosh Vrat is kept on the Trayodashi (thirteenth) tithi of both the waxing and waning fortnights, during the Pradosh Kaal — the window of roughly 96 minutes after sunset. Devotees of Shiva fast until the evening puja, offer bilva leaves and abhishekam to the lingam, and recite the Shiva Chalisa. A Pradosh falling on a Tuesday or Saturday carries extra significance.
