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 takes place in different Shiva temples in many parts of the country.  Pradosha Pooja Vidhi - a concise compilation of Veda Mantras (Sanskrit version)is already uploaded and Tamil (தமிழ்) version is under preparation.
