About this festival

Sankashti Chaturthi is a monthly fast for Lord Ganesha, kept on the fourth day after the full moon. Devotees fast through the day and end it after seeing the moon, so moonrise time decides when the fast ends. When it falls on a Tuesday it is called Angaraki Chaturthi and is considered especially auspicious.

How it is observed

  • Fast from sunrise, with fruit or a simple meal if your tradition allows.
  • Evening Ganesh puja with durva grass and modak or laddoo.
  • Offer arghya to the moon after moonrise, then break the fast.
