Pradosh Vrat: Worship Shiva & Surya Dev on Dec 17 to end planetary woes

• Pradosh Vrat, observed 24 times a year, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is considered highly auspicious.
• During the Poush month, worshipping Lord Shiva along with Surya Dev (Sun God) on Pradosh Vrat is especially beneficial due to the Sun's reduced intensity.
• This worship is believed to bring moksha, positive planetary effects, and relief from planetary obstacles and chronic diseases.
• Worship involves chanting Shiva and Parvati mantras 108 times during Pradosh Kaal (45 minutes before to 45 minutes after sunset).
• The first Pradosh Vrat of Poush month is on December 17th (Wednesday), with Pradosh Kaal from 4:26 PM to 5:56 PM.

Why It Matters: This worship offers a path to overcome planetary obstacles and long-term illnesses.
