Pradosh January 2013 dates – Monthly Shiva Pradosham Fasting in January 2013

Pradosham, also known as Pradosh Vrat, is an auspicious day associated with Shiva and Parvati. January 2013 Pradosham dates are January 9 and January 24. Pradosham occurs twice in a Hindu month – once each during the waning (Krishna Paksha) and waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) of the moon.

The Pradosham period is in the evening from 1.5 hours before sunset and 1 hour after sunset. The fast which began at sunrise is broken during the period.

Most devotees make it a point to be present at a Shiva temple or offer prayers at home.
