I bow down to Lord Shiva who is fair like the camphor, wears a garland of king of serpents, is an incarnate form of compassion, an essence of all material being, who always resides in the lotus-like heart (of his devotee) and who is accompanied by Goddess  Bhavani.

According to the Shiva Puranas, "Pradosh vrat katha is associated with Samudramanthana or Churning of ocean" observing a fast on Pradosham Vratam is regarded as highly auspicious and beneficial. One would be blessed with wealth, children, happiness and honor. While the fast is undertaken by all Shiva devotees, but all women who have been longing for a son specially observe this. Also, praying to Lord Shiva during the course of the fast is said to liberate the devotee from all his previous and present sins and evil deeds committed.

Lord Vishnu the gods (Devas) and the demons (Asuras) were stirring the milky ocean (ksheer sagar) to extract amirtam (nectar), with Vasuki (the serpent king) as a rope. As Vasuki underwent severe scratches due to the churning, she emitted a powerful poison which is capable of destroying the world. The helpless celestials pleaded Lord Shiva to save them. In order to save them, Lord Shiva swallowed the poison. Goddess Parvati stopped the poison in Lord’s throat and it is believed that his throat turned to blue. As a result of this, Lord Shiva came to be known as Thiruneelagandan or Neelakandan or Neelkanth (the one with Blue Throat). The gods and demons continued the samudra-manthan and finally they got the Amrita on the twelfth day of lunar fortnight.

It is said that on the Trayodhasi (thirteenth moon day) day, the gods and demons realized that they had committed a sin of not praying the God and prayed for forgiveness. They thanked Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva Shankar forgave them and danced in between the horns of the Nandhi’s (Celestial Bull) forehead. This time is called Pradhosham. It is believed that if anybody prays Lord Shiva in that time, he fulfills their wishes and gives them mukthi.
