About Pradosham:

As per Purana, it was during Karthigai Month: Theipirai Trayodashi Tithi Pradosha Kaalam on Saturday, Lord Shiva took the 'Hala Hala Visha' (i.e., the Poison that arose while churning of Milk Ocean by Deva & Asura).

Goddess Parvati stopped the poison in the neck of Lord Shiva. The neck of Lord Shiva turned blue. From then on Lord Shiva is called as 'Nilakanda'. When Devas became happy, Lord Shiva danced in between the horns of Nandi Deva.

Hence Special Puja is done to Lord Shiva on every Trayodasi Tithi Pradosha Kalam. If Pradhosam comes on Saturday it is called as 'Sani Pradosham'.
