Shani Pradosha Vrat 2025: Date and Puja Timings

Pradosha Vrat is observed twice every lunar month on Shukla Paksha Trayodashi and Krishna Paksha Trayodashi. The vrat is most fruitful when Trayodashi Tithi overlaps with Pradosha Kala (after sunset).

When this sacred day falls on Saturday, it becomes Shani Pradosha Vrat, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Shani. Scriptures state that Lord Shiva is the Guru of Lord Shani, and worship performed on this day grants relief from hardships, delays, and planetary afflictions like Shani Dosha, Pitru Dosha, and Kala Sarpa Dosha.
