Bhaum Pradosh Vrat will take place on December 2, 2025. Every month on the Trayodashi Tithi of both the Krishna Paksha and the Shukla Paksha, people observe Pradosh Vrat. On December 2, Dwadashi Tithi will end at 3:58 p.m., while on December 3, Trayodashi Tithi will start at 12:26 p.m. But only on the day that Pradosh Kaal falls during Trayodashi Tithi is Pradosh Vrat observed.
Pradosh Kaal refers to the first quarter of the night, the time immediately after sunset, and on December 3, Trayodashi Tithi will not be there during Pradosh Kaal. Therefore, Pradosh Vrat will be observed on December 2. When Pradosh Vrat falls on Tuesday, it is called Bhaum Pradosh, and Bhaum Pradosh Vrat is observed to get relief from debt. Now let us know about the auspicious time and method of worship on the day of Pradosh fast.

Light incense sticks and worship Lord Shiva, and take a vow to observe the fast. After fasting throughout the day, you should worship Lord Shiva as per the prescribed rituals during Pradosh.
During the evening prayers, offer Bel leaves, fruits, and flowers to Lord Shiva. Afterwards, recite the Shiva Chalisa and chant Lord Shiva's mantras. You can offer sesame laddus or malpuas to Lord Shiva as offerings. Finally, recite the Aarti of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
