About Sankashti Chaturthi · संकष्टी चतुर्थी
Sankashti (Sakat) Chaturthi is the fourth day of the dark fortnight, kept for Lord Ganesha to remove obstacles (sankat). The fast lasts until moonrise, when arghya is offered to the moon. On a Tuesday it is Angaraki Sankashti, the most auspicious.
How to observe · विधि
- Fast from sunrise; eat fruit or only after moonrise.
- Evening Ganesh puja with durva, modak or til-laddoo; read the Sankashti katha.
- After moonrise offer arghya to the moon, then break the fast.
Rule used: The vrat is on the day Krishna Chaturthi prevails at moonrise. Moonrise is the key time: the fast is broken only after seeing the moon and offering arghya. Computed from actual Sun and Moon positions (Lahiri ayanamsa) for Delhi, IST.
