Pradosh Vrat in November 2025: Dates and Significance
Pradosh Vrat is an important fasting day in Hinduism dedicated to Lord Shiva.
It happens twice a month, once when the moon is waxing and once when it's waning.
In November 2025, there are two Pradosh Vrat days: November 3rd and November 17th.
These fasts are considered a simple way to get Lord Shiva's blessings.
When the fast falls on a Monday, it's called Som Pradosh, making it extra special because Monday is Lord Shiva's favorite day.
Observing this fast is believed to help with stress, fulfill wishes, and bring peace to families and marriages.
The best times to pray to Lord Shiva during these days are in the evening.
Pradosh Vrat is observed on the Trayodashi Tithi of both Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha.
The first Pradosh Vrat in November 2025 falls on November 3rd, with the Tithi starting at 5:07 AM.
The second Pradosh Vrat in November 2025 falls on November 17th, with the Tithi starting at 4:47 AM.
When Pradosh Vrat occurs on a Monday, it is known as Som Pradosh, considered especially auspicious.
Observing Som Pradosh is believed to help alleviate mental stress, fulfill desires, and improve marital and family well-being.
