Muhurta For Pradosh Vrat
The muhurta for Pradosh Vrat falling on 19 May 2020 will begin at 05:31 pm on the same day itself. The muhurta will end at 07:42 pm on 20 May 2020. This puja is observed twice a month i.e., on Krishna Paksha Trayodashi and Shukla Paksha Trayodashi.
Rituals Of Pradosh Vrat
There are two ways of observing a Pradosh Vrat. The first way is to observe a strict 24 hour fast. One must not consume even a drop of water or grain. The fast is broken on the next day after taking bath and worshipping Lord Shiva. The second way is by observing a fast right from the sunrise to the sunset. The dast can be then broken by worshipping Lord Shiva in the evening and reciting the Pradosh Vrat Katha (story).
Moving on, let us discuss the rituals associated with this Vrat:
- One needs to wake up early in the morning and freshen up.
- After this, clean your puja room and take a bath. Make sure you wear clean clothes after taking a bath.
- Offer raw and cold milk to Shivlinga. In case, you don't have milk, you can use Gangajal or normal water as well.
- After this offer Bel Patra (Bael leaves), flowers, Dhatura and sandalwood. You can also offer ghee and honey.
- While worshipping Lord Shiva make sure you face the North or East direction.
