when the sun sets and the moon raises that time is called pradosha.like ekadashi this is also prevalent throughout india, vrutha is also observed. every trayodhashi is called pradosha. like this there are 24 pradoshams in an year. significance of the pradosham goes by its day of the week.Monday and Saturday is called maha pradosham and is considered auspicious.
sunday- good health and longevity of life.
monday- fulfill wishes.
tuesday-get rid of the disease and sins. general good health.
wednesday- to solve critical problem and fulfill the wishes.
thrusday- success in work and to win over the enemy
friday- sowbhagya and good wishes.
saturday- blessing of child and prosperity.
In short to attain dharma, artha , kam and moksha pradosh vrutha is observed .
like in ekadashi lord vishnu is worsipped, in pradosha lord shiva and parvathi is worshipped.once lord shiva and parvathi came to see the earth. parvathi saw people suffering. she requested shiva to help people to get rid of the sufferings. lord himself said, by observing pradosha pooja and vrutha , humans can lead a good life. they will not suffer.so lord siva is worshipped on this day. abhishekam of milk, curd panchamrutham , honey , rose water is done . Tender coconut water is considered important.in the sandhya time around 6 in the evening abhishekam is done to siva linga. priests sits facing east while performing the pooja. nandi is worshipped specially on this day. abhishekam is done to nandi.then milk is given as prasadam. the fast is broken by taking milk as prasadam.
With the blessings of Lord Shiva and by chanting his mantra we can purify our soul.
