Welcome to Pradosham - May Lord Shiva Bless You.

Welcome to Pradosham website

As you may be aware, Pradosham is performed regularly in all Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and other parts of South India from the time immemorial.

Keeping many devotees' desires in mind, we have covered only those aspects which are found to be useful for performing simple poojas and other Nithya Karmas - in addition to interesting events that had taken place in different Shiva temples in many parts of the country. Our mission is to spread the Glory of Lord Shiva, promote PRADOSHAM and narrate His Holy Acts among the devotees.

Our presentation of Pradosha pooja vidhi - a concise compilation of Veda Mantras detailing the procedures of Pradosha Pooja in Sanskrit and Tamil is in the offing and will be released soon, both in print form and pdf formats.
