According to the Hindu calendar, Bhadrapad month is going on right now and the first Pradosh fast of this month is being observed today i.e. on 31st August, Saturday. It is considered auspicious to worship Goddess Parvati along with Lord Shiva on this holy day.

So let us know those things.
Pay special attention to these things on Pradosh-
Let us tell you that today on the day of Shani Pradosh Vrat, take care of the cleanliness of the house and the place of worship. Do not consume non-vegetarian food like meat, alcohol, garlic, onion etc. on this day. Doing so is a grave sin. Apart from this, one should not wear black clothes on this day even by mistake. It is considered inauspicious, doing so creates negativity which can create problems in life.
While worshipping Mahadev, one should not offer vermilion and turmeric to the Lord even by mistake. By doing so, one does not get the fruits of fasting and worship. If you have observed Pradosh fast, then do not even by mistake let bad thoughts, bad company and bad words come to your mind, stay away from them. Avoid being angry on this day, do not insult or trouble anyone, respect the elders and do not let the poor who come to your house go empty handed. Do donate something to him. By doing so, Mahadev becomes pleased and blesses you.
