Pradosh Vrat
Pradosh (Trayodashi) Vrat Calendar

Pradosh (Trayodashi) Vrat Calendar 1981

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 1981 lists 24 dates, beginning with Shani Pradosh Vrat on 3 January.

About the Pradosh (Trayodashi) Vrat Calendar

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.

Each entry lists the festival or vrat with its date, the prevailing tithi, and a short note on the observance. Dates are shown for the current and the coming year.
