Pradosham August 2011 Monthly Shiva Pradosh Fasting dates in August 2011

Pradosham, also known as Pradosh Vrat, is an auspicious day associated with Shiva and Parvati. August 2011 Pradosham dates are August 11 and August 26. Pradosham occurs twice in a Hindu month – once each during the waning (Krishna Paksha) and waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) of the moon.

The Pradosham period is in the evening from 1.5 hours before sunset and 1 hour after sunset. The fast which began at sunrise is broken during the period.

Most devotees make it a point to be present at a Shiva temple or offer prayers at home.
