The Sun reaches its northern limit and turns south: Dakṣiṇāyana begins, the half-year held to be the "night of the gods." It is the counterpart of Makara Saṅkrānti and the start of the monsoon-season reckoning.
What is done, Kept with charity and the remembrance of ancestors (tarpaṇa); a turning-point for vows and the cāturmāsya season.
Pradoṣa Vrata
Sacred to Śiva
Sunday, 20 July 2290
From the pañchāṅga
Pradosh Vrat: the Trayodaśī fast sacred to Śiva, kept at the pradoṣa-kāla around sunset, twice each lunar month. Dates, timings, and how it is observed, computed for your location.
How to keep the fast
A fast is kept through the day; Śiva is worshipped in the pradoṣa-kāla, the hour and a half around sunset, his most auspicious window. It takes a special name from its weekday (Soma, Bhauma, Śani Pradoṣa).
Breaking the fast, Broken after the pradoṣa-kāla (sunset) worship.
