Pradosh vrat dates, 2028

Pradosh (Pradosha) vrat is observed on Trayodashi, the thirteenth tithi of each fortnight, and it is kept at twilight — the period around sunset called pradosha kala — with worship of Shiva.

Because the observance belongs to the evening, the deciding moment is sunset, not sunrise. Traditions differ on the exact length of pradosha kala, so this page shows the local sunset time and the full Trayodashi window rather than one fixed span.

How the date is decided here: the local day on which the Trayodashi tithi is in force at sunset.
