How to do Shiva Vrat
The puja is conducted by bathing the shivling by water and offer bilva leaves to it. Offering the bilva leave on the occasion of Pradosh vrat is regarded as highly auspicious. After the prayers are done the Pradosh Vrat Katha or chapter of Shiva Puran are read out loud. Then the devotees recite the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra 108 times.

The Pradosh Katha is associated with the churning of the ocean or Samudra-Manthan. According to the Hindu Puranas, The gods and demons were stirring the milky ocean to extract amrita (nectar) with Vasuki (the serpent king) as a rope. As Vasuki underwent severe scratches due to the churning, she emitted a powerful poison which is capable of destroying the world. Then the gods approached Lord Shiva for protection. Lord Shiva consumed the poison is an act to protect the universe. As a result, Shiva’s throat turned blue.
