Pradosh Vrat 2022: Pradosh Vrat is observed on Trayodashi Tithi of every month. There is a law to observe the Pradosh fast twice in a month. Firstly on Trayodashi of Krishna Paksha and secondly on Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha. Lord Shankar is worshiped in every Pradosh. This time Ravi Pradosh will be observed on June 12. According to Acharya Indu Prakash, the first prahar of the night i.e. the time after sunset is called Pradosh Kaal. It is said that the person who worships Lord Shiva on this day gets rid of all sinful deeds and attains virtue. On this day something must be offered to Lord Shiva in the first prahar of the night. Pradosh Vrat is done on Trayodashi Tithi at the time of Pradosh Kaal. Apart from this, Pradosh Vrat is named according to the day on which Pradosh occurs. This time Pradosh falling on Sunday is known as Ravi Pradosh.
