What to do · व्रत 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.
