Pradosh (Trayodashi) Vrat Calendar 1953
A month-by-month list of every Pradosh Vrat of the year — the Shiva fast kept in the twilight hour (pradosh kaal) of each Trayodashi (the thirteenth tithi), in both the bright and dark fortnights. The weekday gives each its character — Soma (Monday), Bhauma (Tuesday) and Shani (Saturday) Pradosh are especially sought after — with the paksha and tithi timing of each.
Pradosh Vrat 1953 lists 23 dates, beginning with Bhaum Pradosh Vrat on 13 January.
