Overview

Pradosh Vrat Puja for families in Rathyatra

Pradosh Vrat is observed twice a month on Trayodashi, and the puja is performed in pradosh kaal, the period around sunset. Devotees fast during the day and worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in the evening.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Confirm the exact pradosh kaal for your date with the Pandit.
Keep bel patra, Ganga jal, white flowers and a diya ready.
