Som Pradosh Vrat 2025: As November begins, devotees of Lord Shiv are preparing for one of the most auspicious fasting days of the month, Som Pradosh Vrat.
Falling on a Monday, this year’s Pradosh Vrat creates a rare and powerful yog believed to amplify Lord Shiv’s blessings, bringing peace, prosperity, and relief from life’s difficulties.
Why Som Pradosh Vrat 2025 Is Considered Highly Auspicious
