Frequently Asked Questions
Shukra Pradosha Vrat is a Shaivite observance tied to the Pradosha twilight worship of Lord Shiva, observed when the Pradosha tithi falls on a Friday associated with Shukra (Venus). Traditional lore says prayers during this Pradosha time invite Shiva’s grace and balance planetary influences linked to Shukra, benefiting prosperity and domestic harmony. In 2026, the vrat follows the same mythic pattern and is observed by fasting, Shiva puja, and recitation of Pradosha prayers during the Pradosha window.
Fast through the day (nirjala or partial) and perform the Pradosh Puja in the evening to Shukra, offering white flowers, coconut, milk, jaggery, and incense, while chanting the Shukra mantra 'Om Shukraya Namaha'.
The date and time are decided by Panchang factors like tithi (Pradosh on Friday), nakshatra, and muhurat; regional practices may shift the observance to a nearby day and differ in rituals.
