Pradosham February 2013 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 2013 Pradosham dates are February 7 (Thursday) and February 23 (Saturday). Pradosham occurs twice in a Hindu month – once each during the waning (Krishna Paksha) and waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) of the moon.

Please note that the first Pradosh in the month is also marked on February 8 in some calendars. But majority of calendars have marked it on February 7.

When Pradosham falls on Saturday and if it is observed then one will get benefits of getting relief from Sade Sati and other Shani related troubles.

When Pradosh falls on Saturday it is known as Shani Pradosh 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.
