Importance of Pradosha Kalam.
Pradosham is the time present between one and half hours before and after the sun set (One muhurta). Pradosham is a combination of two words pra and dosham in which Pra means Removes, and Dosham means sins that is the time that removes sins.
This Muhurta comes every day, however, the Pradosham time on triodasi day is considered very auspicious. That too on the Krishna Paksha triodasi (that falls on dark fortnight or triodasi before Amavasya). If the Pradosham falls on a Saturday then it is referred as Shani Pradosham, which is considered even more auspicious, and this time has immense importance in the Shaivite tradition.
On the day of Pradosham, twilight period - that is the time just before sunrise and sunset, is considered to be auspicious. All the prayers and pujas are observed during this time. One hour before sunset, devotees take a bath and get ready for the puja.
In some places, the worship of the Shivling is also performed. The Shivling is given a bath with sacred substances like milk, curd and ghee. Puja is performed and the devotees offer Bilva leaves on the Shivling. Some people also use a picture or painting of Lord Shiva for worshipping. It is believed that offering Bilva leaves on the day of Pradosh Vrat is highly auspicious.
After this ritual, the devotees listen to the Pradosh Vrat katha or read stories from the Shiva Purana. Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is enchanted 108 times. After the puja is over, water from the Kalasha is partaken and the devotees apply the sacred ash on their forehead.
