Pradosha, Pradosham and Pradosha Puja mean the same and are the different spellings used by people to refer to the Vrata.

When Pradosh falls on Monday it is known as Soma Pradosh as Monday is dedicated to Shiva. Shani Pradosham is when the Vratam falls on Saturday and it good for alleviating Shani Dosha.

are we supposed to fast only on the dates it says Pradosam vrata and not all Pradosham days?

abhilash said...

You are supposed to fast on all days. Pradosham and Pradosh vrata all are the same. The different spelling is used to avoid repetition as repeating same words is considered spam by some search engines.

Can anyone please enlighten me whether the Pradosha dates changes from state to state? I am from Tamil Nadu. But staying in Bangalore. I usually fast according to the dates given in Tamil calendar. But my in law always say "Pradosham is already over in bangalore" :(

Srinivas said...

No it rarely changes from state. Aslo today is Pradosham in all regions. What is important is devtion not time and date etc. So do your worship and prayers and fasting without any tension.
