Dates follow the sunrise tithi for the India-baseline Panchang. Observance rules tied to moonrise, pradosha, or nishita (for example Diwali on the Kartik Amavasya, or Pradosha worship at sunset) can place the vrata a day around the listed tithi day — confirm on the daily Panchang page before fixing a personal vrata.
Common questions
How is the Pradosh Vrat date decided?
Occurs twice monthly on the 13th tithi (Trayodashi) of both fortnights. The twilight period (Pradosha) on this day is considered especially sacred for Shiva worship.
Can the date differ by city?
Yes. The tithi moment is universal, but which civil day it maps to depends on local sunrise and timezone, so diaspora locations can differ by one day from India.
Why do some months have two entries?
Pradosh Vrat occurs once in each paksha, so there are usually two per Hindu month and 24–26 in a year.
