Shani Pradosh Vrat

Welcome to onlinenakshatra Podcast! Today, we will discuss Shani Pradosh Vrat. Shani Pradosh Vrat is a special fast observed on the Trayodashi which means the thirteenth day of the lunar fortnight when it falls on a Saturday, which is the day dedicated to Lord Shani. This vrat is also a form of Pradosh Vrat, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

On this day, devotees observe a fast from sunrise to sunset, breaking it after offering prayers to Lord Shiva during the Pradosh period, which is the time just after sunset. The fast is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and relief from the malefic effects of Shani or Saturn in one’s life. It is also considered beneficial for those who seek to overcome difficulties, remove obstacles, and find success in their endeavors.

During the evening, devotees visit Shiva temples or perform rituals at home. The worship involves offering milk, water, fruits, and bel leaves to the Shiva Lingam, along with chanting mantras and prayers dedicated to both Lord Shiva and Lord Shani.
