Soma Pradosha Vrat in November 2025: Check Date, Pradosha Puja Muhurat, Puja Vidhi and Significance

Soma Pradosha Vrat 2025: The Soma Pradosha Vrat in November 2025 will be observed on Monday, November 3, 2025, during the Shukla Paksha Trayodashi Tithi. The Pradosha Puja Muhurat falls between 05:34 PM and 08:11 PM, which is considered the most auspicious period for Shiva Puja.

The word Pradosha refers to the twilight period after sunset, when Lord Shiva is believed to be most merciful and receptive to devotees’ prayers. This day holds great significance for Shiva bhakts who observe fasts seeking divine blessings, peace, and prosperity.

Pradosha Vrat, also known as Pradosham, is observed twice a month on the Trayodashi Tithi of both Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. The day is considered sacred because the Trayodashi Tithi overlaps with the Pradosha Kaal (the time just after sunset) which is the ideal period for Lord Shiva worship.

Devotees perform Shiva Abhishekam with milk, curd, honey, and water, and offer Bilva leaves, fruits, and incense to the Lord. It is believed that those who perform the Pradosha Puja during this auspicious window are freed from sins and blessed with happiness and prosperity.

When Pradosha Vrat falls on a Monday, it is known as Soma Pradosha. Since Monday is dedicated to Lord Shiva, this day holds double the spiritual significance. Observing Soma Pradosham is believed to bring:

• Peace of mind and relief from mental stress.
• Harmony and love in married life.
• Family happiness and financial stability.
• Protection from negative influences caused by malefic effects of the Moon (Chandra Dosh) in one’s horoscope.

According to Vedic astrology, the Soma Pradosha fast strengthens the Moon’s position in the Kundali, helping one overcome emotional instability, anxiety, and confusion.

• Begin the day with a bath at sunrise and wear clean or traditional attire.
• Keep a day-long fast and break it only after performing the evening puja.
• Clean the puja area and decorate the Shiva Lingam with flowers and Bilva leaves.
• Light a lamp (deepak) and offer Panchamrit (a mixture of milk, curd, ghee, honey, and sugar) during Abhishekam.
• Chant Shiva Mantras like ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ or ‘Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra’ during the puja.
• Offer Prasadam and conclude the puja with Aarti.

Performing this Pradosha Puja with devotion helps devotees attain Lord Shiva’s grace, ensuring peace, prosperity, and longevity.

The Soma Pradosha Vrat is one of the most spiritually rewarding fasts in Hindu tradition. Devotees believe that by observing this vrat with faith and discipline, they receive forgiveness for past mistakes, renewed inner strength, and divine blessings for a harmonious life. It is also said that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati visit Mount Kailash during Pradosha time and bless those who sincerely pray to them.

The Soma Pradosha Vrat on November 3, 2025, is an auspicious occasion for devotees to strengthen their spiritual connection with Lord Shiva. Observing this fast with complete faith brings inner peace, removes negativity, and enhances marital and mental harmony. Use this sacred Soma Pradosha day to seek Lord Shiva’s divine blessings and embrace positivity in all aspects of life.
