Mumbai: In the rich tapestry of Hindu spirituality, every fast and festival holds a deep symbolic and devotional value. Among them, Pradosh Vrat stands out as a powerful ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva — the divine protector and destroyer of evil. Observed twice a month during the Trayodashi tithi (13th lunar day) of both the waxing (Shukla Paksha) and waning (Krishna Paksha) moon phases, this vrat is believed to bring relief from sorrows, karmic burdens 2862271and life’s challenges.
In June 2025, Pradosh Vrat carries added spiritual weight as it coincides with a Sunday. Known as Ravi Pradosh, this day is considered especially auspicious for seeking forgiveness from ancestral spirits (Pitru Dosha) and for receiving divine blessings from Lord Shiva. The sacred time for worship — the Pradosh Kaal — begins just before and during sunset, marking an ideal window to offer prayers and perform rituals. Here’s everything you need to know about its date, time, and spiritual significance this month.
As the Pradosh Kaal falls on Sunday, 8 June 2025, this observance is called Ravi Pradosh Vrat. Devotees believe that performing Shiva puja during this window can eliminate Pitru Dosha, usher in peace, and invite divine grace into their lives.
