The Auspicious Occurrence of Pradosham in Shravan Month
Pradosham is the special twilight time that occurs twice a month, considered highly propitious for worshipping Lord Shiva. The holy month of Shravan holds immense significance in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. During Shravan, the spiritual merits of all devotional acts are believed to multiply manifold.
During this period, the occurrence of Pradosham becomes even more auspicious.
It is a time of intensified spiritual energy, believed to grant divine grace and blessings. It provides us with a golden opportunity to seek forgiveness, engage in acts of devotion, and deepen our connection with the Supreme.
