During Pradhosham special Sri Rudra Abhishekam, Pujas, Deeparadhana are done for Lord Shiva and Sri Nandi Deva. As per Purana, it was during Pradosham period, Lord Shiva took the 'Hala Hala Visha' (Poison that arose while churning of ocean by Deva & Asura). Goddess Parvati stopped the poison in the neck of Lord Shiva. The neck of Lord Shiva turned blue hence Lord Shiva has the name 'Nilakanda'.

If the Pradhosam comes on Saturday it is called as 'Sani Pradosham'. During Pradosham 'Soma Sukta Pradakshinam' of Lord Shiva is done by Devotees.

In Sringeri, special Rudra Homam, Abhishekam, Deeparadhana are held for Sri Shakti Ganapati on Maha Pradosham
