The below photographs are of Arunachaleswarar Temple Pradosham which was observed on Thursday June 1, 2023.
Pradosham indicates the meeting of the Sun and the Moon in a horizontal line and occurs on the 13th lunar day (Trayodashi) during the waxing and waning phase of moon in the Hindu lunar calendar.
It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva on this day will relieve the devotee from sin, help overcome opponents and enemies—thus eliminating all danger and will also lead to Moksha. On Pradoshams which fall on Thursdays, devotees also receive Divine blessings through their ancestors.
Among the pujas performed by Lord Shiva devotees,
Pradosham puja is considered to be the most auspicious. It is believed that
during this period all universal beings and Gods come down to earth and attend
the worship.
