Ravi Pradosh Vrat: When is Ashadh Shukla Pradosh: 26th or 27th July? Note down the exact time and rare coincidence of worship of Mahadev.

Lucknow. In Hindu religion, Pradosh Vrat, which brings blessings of Mahadev, is considered very fruitful. According to religious beliefs, after sunset on Trayodashi date, during Pradosh period, Lord Shiva dances in a very happy posture on Mount Kailash and at this time, worshiping the entire Shiva family along with Mother Parvati removes all the troubles of the devotees. At present, Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month is going on and the last Pradosh Vrat of this month will be celebrated as ‘Ravi Pradosh Vrat’ as it falls on Sunday. This time at the time of puja, a rare combination of Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Indra Yoga and Jyestha Nakshatra is taking place, due to which the importance of this fast has increased manifold.

Correct date and Panchang calculation of Ravi Pradosh Vrat 2026

According to the Vedic calendar, the Trayodashi date of Shukla Paksha of Ashadha month will start on 26 July 2026 at 01:57 pm. This date will end the next day on July 27 at 04:14 pm. Since in Pradosh Vrat, priority is given to the evening time i.e. Muhurta of Pradosh Kaal instead of Udayatithi, hence this last Pradosh Vrat of Ashadh will be observed on Sunday, 26th July only.

Auspicious time for worshiping Mahadev

The best time for Shiva Sadhana is from 07:16 pm to 09:21 pm on the evening of 26th July, which is the main auspicious time for the worship of Pradosh Kaal. Apart from this, Brahma Muhurta will remain from 04:16 AM to 04:58 AM on this day. Abhijit Muhurta for auspicious works in the afternoon will be from 12:00 AM to 12:55 AM, whereas Nishita Muhurta for Tantra and special worship will be from 12:07 AM to 12:49 AM.

Great coincidence of Sarvartha Siddhi and Indra Yoga

The most special thing about this Ravi Pradosh fast is that Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is being formed on this day, which will start from 07:34 am on 26th July and will continue till 05:40 am the next day on 27th July. Shiva worship done in this yoga is considered to fulfill every wish. Along with this, Indra Yoga will last from sunrise to 10.05 pm. Talking about constellations, Jyestha Nakshatra will last till 07:34 in the morning and after that Moola Nakshatra will begin.
