Pradosh Vrat 2025: When Will Pradosh Fast Be Observed in December? Check Dates & Auspicious Timings
In Sanatan Dharma, the Trayodashi Tithi of every Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha is considered highly auspicious, as Pradosh Vrat is observed on this day. Each Pradosh Vrat is named according to the weekday on which it falls—for example, Som Pradosh (Monday), Bhaum Pradosh (Tuesday), Shani Pradosh (Saturday), etc.
