Among all other vrat, Pradosh Vrat has its special place and is considered to be very auspicious. If a person wants to get rid of his/her sins and also wants to attain moksha or mukti after death than worshipping Lord Shiva is beneficial on this day. Consequently, it is also believed that donating two cows obtains the same result as keeping the Pradosh Vrat. It is supposed that keeping vrat on Pradosh dates will make Lord Shiva, yours.
On Trayodashi tithi, Pradosham mantras are chanted in all the Shiva temples. All these activities are performed after sunset in Pradosh Kaal
