Mumbai: The Pradosh Vrat, dedicated to Lord Shiva, holds special spiritual significance in Hindu tradition and is mentioned in the Shiv Purana. Observing this vrat (fast) is believed to fulfil devotees’ desires and help them overcome obstacles and negativity in life. It also brings auspiciousness to those seeking marriage, helping them find a compatible life partner.
The first Pradosh Vrat of the Jyeshtha month in 2025 falls on a Saturday, making it a Shani Pradosh Vrat — considered especially potent due to the combined influence of Lord Shiva and Saturn (Shani Dev). Let’s look at this important fast’s exact date, time, and spiritual significance.
When is the First Pradosh Vrat of Jyeshtha 2025?
According to the Vedic Panchang, the Trayodashi Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Jyeshtha will begin at 7:20 PM on 24 May 2025 and end at 3:51 AM on 25 May 2025. As per tradition, Lord Shiva is worshipped during the Pradosh Kaal on this day, so the fast will be observed on Saturday, 24 May. Since the day falls on a Saturday, it is observed as Shani Pradosh Vrat, adding to its spiritual impact.
Shubh Muhurat for Jyeshtha Pradosh Vrat
On 24 May, the most auspicious time to worship Lord Shiva is during Pradosh Kaal, which begins at 7:20 PM and ends at 9:19 PM — a window of exactly 2 hours and 1 minute. Devotees are advised to perform their prayers and rituals during this sacred period for maximum spiritual benefit.
Significance of Pradosh Vrat
The Pradosh Vrat is considered a highly meritorious fast dedicated to Mahadev (Lord Shiva). It is believed that observing this vrat washes away all sins and helps the devotee attain spiritual liberation and blessings from Lord Shiva.
As per legend, the Moon God (Chandra Dev) once suffered from a debilitating disease (consumption), which caused him immense pain. Lord Shiva cured him on the day of Trayodashi, restoring his life and energy. Since then, the day has come to be known as “Pradosh” and is considered highly auspicious for Shiva worship.
