The Pradosh that occurs on Monday is called Soma Pradosham, named Bhoum Pradosham on Tuesday and called Shani Pradosham on Saturday. Bhoum Pradosh, the one that is due tomorrow, is helpful to those who want to be rescued from health problems or those who are suffering and sick.

Pradosh Vrat is observed twice a month for every Trayodashi, i.e. Shukla Paksha Trayodashi and Krishna Trayodashi Paksha. This fast is being held by Lord Shiva 's devoted worshippers to receive his blessing.
