Like Ekadashi, there is a special recognition of Pradosh fast, this fast is kept on Trayodashi Tithi in the month of Ashadh. By keeping this, a person gets freedom from suffering which is equal to death, this time Pradosh fast is going to fall on Sunday, according to which the importance of Pradosh fast also changes. That Pradosh fast is very dear to Shiva, in this fast, he is also worshiped during the Pradosh period, which fulfills the wishes of the devotee who observes Pradosh fast with full devotion, let us tell you why Mahadev. I love the fast of Pradosh so much.
That is why Mahadev is dear to the fast of Pradosh: According to the mythological belief, when the Halahal poison came out of the ocean during the churning of the ocean, there was an outcry in the world due to it, and there was destruction all around. Then Mahadev drank that Halahal to save the universe and held it in his throat. After drinking Halahal, Shiva's throat turned blue and due to the effect of Halahal, his body started burning strongly. Seeing Shiva distraught, all the deities also started getting upset, then the gods reduced the irritation of Mahadev with things like water and belpatra. When Mahadev's jealousy subsided, then all the gods and goddesses worshiped him because due to him the creation could be saved. . Since then Trayodashi Tithi and Pradosh Kaal became dear to Lord Shiva, and on this day the practice of worshiping Mahadev and fasting started and due to the worship performed during Pradosh Kaal, this fast came to be known as Pradosh Vrat.

Apart from this, if Lord Shiva is worshiped in Pradosh Kaal with full devotion on that day, then every wish of the person is fulfilled, the position of the Moon in his horoscope is better, and mental problems are also less. And at the same time salvation is attained after death.

This is the method of fasting:
First of all, after getting up before sunrise in the morning, after taking bath, take a vow to fast in front of God. You can decide whether to stay fast by fasting or take fruits according to your ability. Worship Lord Shiva in the evening after Pradosh Kaal i.e. after sunset and before night, after worship, first of all, clean the place with Gangajal or clean water, then smear it with cow dung and paint the square with the help of five colors. Make use of the seat of Kush during the worship. After preparing for the worship, sit facing the north-east direction and remember Shiva, after offering water, sandalwood, flowers, prasad, incense, etc. to Mahadev, chant the mantras, Read Pradosh Katha, do aarti and apologize. In the end, offer prasad to God and after worship, distribute the prasad among the people.
