Pradosham February 2012 date – Monthly Pradosh Fasting for Shiva

Pradosham, or Pradosh fasting, is dedicated to Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is observed on the 13th day of a fortnight in a Hindu calendar. February 2012 Pradosham dates are February 5 (Sunday) and February 19 (Sunday). Pradosham occurs twice in a Hindu month – once each during the waning (Krishna Paksha) and waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) of the moon.

When Pradosham falls on Sunday and if it is observed then one will get good health and it also helps in fighting diseases.

When Pradosh falls on Sunday it is known as Bhanu Pradosha in some regions.

The popular belief is that Shiva and Parvati are in a very generous and happy moon during the period and therefore fulfills the wishes of the devotees.

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.
