Sankashti Chaturthi is a Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, observed on the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) every month. Devotees fast on this day, seeking the removal of obstacles and blessings for prosperity. The day holds special significance when it falls on a Tuesday, called Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi, which is considered especially auspicious. The fast is usually broken after sighting the moon and performing prayers, which include chanting Ganesh mantras and offering modaks (a favourite sweet of Ganesha).
