Pradosh Vrat 2016प्रदोष व्रत 2016

Pradosh vrat is the fast of Shiva on Trayodashi, the thirteenth tithi, kept on the day Trayodashi runs through the pradosh kaal after sunset — twice a month. It is named by its weekday: Soma, Bhauma, Shani Pradosh and the rest.

प्रदोष व्रत त्रयोदशी को भगवान शिव का व्रत है, उस दिन जब सूर्यास्त के बाद प्रदोष काल में त्रयोदशी हो — महीने में दो बार। वार के अनुसार इसका नाम सोम, भौम, शनि प्रदोष आदि होता है।

2016 में कितनी प्रदोष व्रत हैं?

25 — पहली गुरु प्रदोष (7 जनवरी 2016), अंतिम सोम प्रदोष (26 दिसंबर 2016)।

Why can the Pradosh Vrat date differ between cities?

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, and the tithi at sunrise (or at moonrise, pradosh or the ingress, as the vrat needs) names the day. Sunrise differs by place, so a city far from Delhi can keep the vrat a day apart; the month calendar gives your city's dates.
