Shani Pradosh 2026 Dates: Vrat Calendar, Remedies & Significance
When the auspicious Pradosham (Trayodashi Tithi) falls on a Saturday (Shanivar), it is known as Shani Pradosh. In Vedic Astrology, Lord Shiva is considered the Guru (Teacher) of Shani Dev. Therefore, worshiping Lord Shiva on this specific day is the ultimate remedy to pacify the planet Saturn.
This Vrat is highly recommended for individuals going through Shani Sade Sati, Dhaiya, or Mahadasha, as it is believed to convert bad karma into blessings.
2026 is a unique year with only 2 Shani Pradosham dates. Unlike other years, most Trayodashi Tithis in 2026 do not align with sunset on Saturdays. Do not miss these two powerful opportunities!
