The last Pradosh fast of Phalgun is on March 1, a great coincidence of ‘Shobhan Yoga’ is being formed; Luck will shine by worshiping Surya and Shiva:

New Delhi. The month of Phalgun is considered special for the devotion of Lord Shiva and Shri Krishna. Now in this holy month, another big opportunity is coming to please Mahadev. In Sanatan Dharma, Pradosh Vrat is considered to have the highest place, which is observed on the Trayodashi date of every month. According to the calculations of the Panchang, Pradosh Vrat of Shukla Paksha of Phalgun month is going to be very special this time, because it is falling on Sunday. Being ‘Ravi Pradosh’, on this day, along with Lord Bholenath, the blessings of Sun God, the king of the planets, will also shower. Not only this, many auspicious coincidences are taking place on this day including ‘Shobhan Yoga’, which will bring happiness, prosperity and health in the life of the fasting person.

Great coincidence of Ravi Pradosh and mathematics of date

According to astrological calculations, Trayodashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Phalgun month will start on Saturday, 28 February 2026 at 8:43 pm. At the same time, this date will end on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 7:09 pm. Since the worship of Pradosh Kaal (evening time) has the highest importance in Pradosh Vrat, hence considering the coincidence of Udayatithi and Pradosh Kaal, this Vrat will be observed on Sunday, March 1. If Trayodashi falls on Sunday, it will be called ‘Ravi Pradosh’, which is considered best for longevity and health.

Wishes will be fulfilled by worshiping in Shobhan Yoga

This time Pradosh Vrat is also special because ‘Shobhan Yoga’ is being formed on this day. In the scriptures, this yoga has been described as extremely auspicious for auspicious works and worship. It is believed that the worship of Shiva done in this yoga does not prove futile. Those devotees who fast on this day with true heart, their married life becomes sweet and there is never any dearth of material comforts. Being Ravi Pradosh, this fast is also considered to bring victory over enemies and respect in the society.

This is how to worship Shiva-Shakti during Pradosh period.

On the day of Pradosh Vrat, wake up early in the morning, take bath and offer water to the Sun God. After this, take a pledge to fast while meditating on Lord Shiva with water in your hand. Remain fasting or eating fruits throughout the day and chant ‘Om Namah Shivay’ in your mind. The main puja of this fast is performed in the evening i.e. ‘Godhuli Bela’ (at the time of sunset). Take bath again in the evening, wear clean clothes and go to the home temple or pagoda.

Mahadev will be pleased with Abhishek and Bhog

During the puja, anoint Shivling with Panchamrit made from Ganga water, cow’s milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar. Offer Belpatra, Dhatura, Madar flowers, hemp and ashes to Mahadev. Offer makeup materials to Goddess Parvati and perform aarti by lighting a ghee lamp. Be sure to recite Shiv Chalisa and Pradosh Vrat Katha on this day. In the end, pray for forgiveness and break the fast the next day as per the rituals.

All troubles will go away by chanting these mantras
