Devotees observe the Pradosh fast to seek His grace, remove difficulties and restore peace in marital and personal life. As 2026 begins with a Pradosh Vrat, it is considered an exceptionally auspicious start to the year, enhancing the spiritual significance of every fast that follows.

Spiritual Importance Of Pradosh Vrat
The Pradosh fast holds immense significance as devotees worship both Lord Shiv and Goddess Parvati during this sacred period. It is believed that observing this fast helps eliminate suffering, removes planetary doshas and grants harmony in relationships. While every Pradosh Vrat has its own power, a Monday Pradosh (Som Pradosh) is especially potent, as it aligns directly with the day dedicated to Shiv. Traditionally, devotees consume food only once during the day and spend the Pradosh Kaal in worship and meditation.
