The thirteenth day of moon cycle is also known as Trayodashi and is considered a very auspicious day among Hindus. On this day, devotees observe day-long fast and worship and seek blessings of Lord Shiva. Pradosh Vrat is known by different names based on the day it falls. When Shiva Pradosh Vrat falls on Monday, it is called as Soma Pradosh or Chandra Pradosh. If it falls on Saturday, it is known as Shani Pradosh and if it falls on Tuesday, it is called as Bhauma Pradosh Vrat. For rest other days, it simply goes by Pradosh Vrat.
