Pradosh (Trayodashi) Vrat Calendar 1997
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 1997 lists 24 dates, beginning with Som Pradosh Vrat on 6 January.
