This is mythology

According to the legend, for the first time, Chandrasev kept the fast of Pradosh for liberation from tuberculosis. It is said that Moon was married to Daksha Prajapati's 27 constellation girls. A lunar month is completed by the sum of these 27 constellations. Moon himself was very handsome and Rohini was very beautiful among all his wives. Therefore, among all those wives, Moon had special attachment with Rohini. Moon loved Rohini so much that the rest of his 26 wives became unhappy with his behavior and complained to Daksha Prajapati.

Saddened by the misery of the daughters, Daksha cursed the moon that you may suffer from tuberculosis. Gradually, the moon began to suffer from tuberculosis and their arts began to fade. This also had a bad effect on the earth. Narad ji asked him to worship Mahadev when Chandradev came close to his last breaths. After this, on the day of Trayodashi in Chandradev, Mahadev was fasted and worshiped him in Pradosh Kaal. Pleased with fasting and worship, Mahadev gave him a resurrection by freeing him from death and suffering and took it on his head. After the resurrection of the moon, people started fasting and worshiping Mahadev on the Trayodashi date every month for the liberation of their sufferings. Mahadev is worshiped during Pradosh Kaal in this fast, hence it is called Pradosh Vrat.
