Pradosham dates in 2017
Pradosham, or Pradosh, the 13th lunar phase called trayodasi, is a very auspicious day to worship Lord Shiva.
Pra-dosh means removal of sin. Both Trayodashi Tithis – Shukla Paksha Trayodashi and Krishna Paksha Trayodashi – are considered good. Pradosham falling on Monday is called Soma Pradosham, on Tuesday it is called Bhauma Pradosham and on Saturday it is called as Shani Pradosham. Pradosh vrat is very common in India.
The auspicious Pradosha period calculation is slightly complicated. It is 6 ghatikas after sunset according to dharmsindhu. Each ghatika is 24 minutes SO 24 X 6 = 144 minutes the best time to worship of Lord Shiva.
