Shani Pradosh Vrat and Puja
Shani Pradosh Vrat and Puja are highly significant for seeking Lord Shiva’s blessings and resolving issues related to children. This vrat is observed on the Trayodashi Tithi of both lunar phases every month, but when it falls on a Saturday, it is called Shani Pradosh Vrat. Worshiping Lord Shiva on this day brings child happiness and resolves problems related to children. Devotees observe a day-long fast and perform the puja during Pradosh Kaal in the evening. The rituals include chanting special mantras, performing milk abhishekam, offering Bilva leaves, and lighting lamps. This vrat is particularly beneficial for childbirth, child well-being, and resolving parental concerns.
