All times are Indian Standard Time, for New Delhi. Differences of 1–2 minutes between panchangs are normal. How we calculate
How the Pradosh Vrat date is fixed
- According to Drik Panchang the Pradosh vrat falls on the day whose Pradosh kaal after sunset has the Trayodashi tithi, so it sometimes falls on the Dwadashi day. If both days have some Trayodashi in Pradosh kaal, the day with more of it (matched against Drik Panchang’s list).
- Pradosh kaal runs from sunset for a fifth of the night (the first three of the night’s 15 muhurtas). The puja time is the part of Pradosh kaal in which Trayodashi also runs; Drik Panchang gives this time for Shiva puja. So on some days it is short, for example when Trayodashi begins after sunset.
- Names by weekday (Drik Panchang): Soma Pradosh on Monday, Bhauma Pradosh on Tuesday, Shani Pradosh on Saturday; the other days are named after their weekday too (Ravi, Budha, Guru, Shukra).
We computed every date from October 2026 to December 2027 with our panchang engine and compared it with Drik Panchang’s New Delhi list; all 31 dates agree (6 in 2026, 25 in 2027). Our tithi start and end times run 1–2 minutes after Drik Panchang’s, and the puja time agrees within 2 minutes. We do not publish a date or time that does not match.
Frequently asked questions
When is Pradosh vrat in November and December 2026?
In November 2026: Friday, 6 November 2026 (Shukra Pradosh Vrat, puja 5:33–8:10 PM) and Sunday, 22 November 2026 (Ravi Pradosh Vrat, puja 5:25–8:06 PM); in December 2026: Sunday, 6 December 2026 (Ravi Pradosh Vrat, puja 5:24–8:07 PM) and Monday, 21 December 2026 (Soma Pradosh Vrat, puja 5:37–8:13 PM). Times are for New Delhi.
How many Pradosh vrats should one keep?
We found no scripture that fixes one number for everyone. In common practice many people take a vow of 11 or 26 Pradosh vrats and then perform the udyapan (closing rite), and some keep every Pradosh for life. Settle the number and the udyapan with your family’s custom or your purohit.
At what time is the Pradosh puja done?
After sunset, in Pradosh kaal, while the Trayodashi tithi also runs. Drik Panchang gives this time for Shiva puja, and this list gives it for every vrat (New Delhi). In other cities it moves by a few minutes with sunset.
What are Soma, Bhauma and Shani Pradosh?
A Pradosh vrat is named after its weekday: Soma Pradosh on Monday, Bhauma Pradosh on Tuesday and Shani Pradosh on Saturday (Drik Panchang). This list has 12 of them.
What if Ekadashi and Pradosh fall on consecutive days?
Drik Panchang suggests breaking the Ekadashi fast symbolically with water only and continuing into the Pradosh fast without actually eating. Decide with your purohit, keeping your health and your family’s custom in mind.
Is Pradosh vrat on the same day in every city?
Drik Panchang notes that the Pradosh day depends on sunset, so it can differ even between two cities of the same state. This list is from New Delhi’s sunrise, sunset and moonrise. The moment a tithi changes is the same across India, but sunrise, sunset and moonrise change with the city, so now and then the vrat can fall a day apart in another city. Check your city’s panchang or ask your purohit.
