🕉️ Pradosham

---

 Pradosham is a highly auspicious period dedicated to Lord Shiva, observed twice a month on the Trayodashi Tithi (13th day) of both the waxing (Shukla Paksha) and waning (Krishna Paksha) moon phases. The word Pradosham means "removal of sins" (Pra = removal, Dosham = sins), and it is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva during this time washes away karmic debts and grants spiritual progress.
