The Pradosh Vrat of Sawan (Shravan) will be observed on the Trayodashi of the Krishna Paksha. It is believed that observing this fast brings Lord Shiva’s blessings, cleanse sins, and helps relieve planetary afflictions, financial difficulties, and health issues.
This year, the first Pradosh Vrat of Sawan will fall on Tuesday, 22 July, and is therefore known as a Bhaum Pradosh Vrat (Tuesday Pradosh). According to Drik Panchang, “When Pradosham day falls on Monday it is called Soma Pradosham, on Tuesday it is called Bhauma Pradosham and on Saturday it is called as Shani Pradosham.”
Devotees who fast and worship Lord Shiva on this day are said to be blessed with wealth, prosperity, land, property, and good fortune.
When is Sawan Pradosh Vrat?
The Trayodashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Sawan begins at 7:05 AM on 22 July and ends at 4:39 AM on 23 July 2025. The vrat will be observed on 22 July itself.
According to Drik Panchang, “For Pradosham Vrat, day is fixed when Trayodashi Tithi falls during Pradosh Kaal which starts after Sunset. The time window after Sunset when Trayodashi Tithi and Pradosh time overlaps is auspicious for Shiva Puja. ”
Dwipushkar Yoga and Other Auspicious Combinations
On this day, Dwipushkar Yoga will also occur-from 5:37 AM to 7:05 AM. It is believed that any task or ritual performed during this yoga bears double the rewards.
