Pradosh, or Pradosham, falls on the 13th day in a traditional Hindu lunar calendar. It is believed that Lord Shiva and Parvati are in playful mood during this period and therefore they will readily fulfill the wishes of the devotees. There is also a popular belief that people under the bad influence of Lord Shani can escape it by praying to Shiva on the day.

could you please let me know what are the rules for this fast
i want to know rules for shani pradosham vrat or any pradosham vrat..........please
The rules for Pradosh fasting are similar to the normal Pradosha Vrata fasting. You can also pray to Shani Dev at a Navgraha temple on the day.
I believe tomorrow (Sunday the 22nd) is Pradosham according to many Panchangams.
In calendars followed in North India, Maharashtra, Karnataka etc it is marked on August 21 Saturday.
