How these dates are worked out
Pradosh Vrat is kept on the evening Trayodashi - the 13th tithi of either fortnight - covers the most of Pradosh kaal: the first fifth of the night after sunset at New Delhi, three of the night's fifteen muhurtas. The Pradosh takes its name from the weekday: Soma Pradosh on a Monday, Bhauma on a Tuesday, Shani on a Saturday.
The tithi is the angle the Moon has moved ahead of the Sun, in 12-degree steps, on the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa; sunrise and sunset are for New Delhi's coordinates. The lunar month is named by the sign the Sun is in when it begins. The methodology page says how the engine is checked.
Questions about Pradosh Vrat in 2027
- How many Pradosh Vrat are there in 2027?
- 25: one in each fortnight, on the evening Trayodashi falls in.
- What is Pradosh kaal?
- The twilight after sunset: here, the first fifth of the night from sunset to the next sunrise, three of the night's fifteen muhurtas. It lasts longer when the nights are long - on this list from 2 h 1 min on 16 June to 2 h 44 min on 11 December.
- How is the Pradosh date decided?
- Pradosh Vrat is kept on the evening Trayodashi - the 13th tithi of either fortnight - covers the most of Pradosh kaal: the first fifth of the night after sunset at New Delhi, three of the night's fifteen muhurtas. The Pradosh takes its name from the weekday: Soma Pradosh on a Monday, Bhauma on a Tuesday, Shani on a Saturday.
- What are Soma, Bhauma and Shani Pradosh?
- A Pradosh is named after the weekday it falls on: Soma Pradosh on a Monday, Bhauma Pradosh on a Tuesday, Shani Pradosh on a Saturday - and Ravi, Budha, Guru and Shukra Pradosh on the other days. The names are in the table.
- Do these dates apply outside New Delhi?
- They are computed for sunrise and sunset at New Delhi. Across India most dates are the same, but where a tithi changes close to sunrise or sunset another city - and more often a city abroad, on its own clock - can keep the observance a day earlier or later. The panchang calculator gives the tithi for any date and place.
