The Pradosh Vrat is a sacred fast observed on the 13th day of every lunar fortnight, which is devoted to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. As per the sacred Hindu legends, when the cosmic ocean was being churned, Lord Shiva drank the poison Halahala to save the universe. This poison made his throat blue and so he became known as Neelakantha. This event has been said to have taken place during the Pradosh Kaal, which is an evening time considered to be extremely auspicious for worshipping Lord Shiva.
