Sankashti Chaturthi 2024 Dates List, Tithi Time, Significance
Posted on April 18, 2024
Sankashti Chaturthi is a significant Hindu festival celebrated in honor of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and prosperity. It falls on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the Hindu lunar month of Magha.
The festival holds special importance for devotees of Lord Ganesha, who observe fasting and perform puja (ritual worship) to seek the blessings of the elephant-headed deity. Sankashti Chaturthi is believed to be particularly auspicious for overcoming challenges and difficulties in life, making it a time for spiritual renewal and growth.
On this day, devotees wake up early and offer prayers to Lord Ganesha, often visiting temples dedicated to him. Special rituals include chanting of mantras, offering modak (a sweet delicacy considered Lord Ganesha’s favorite), and lighting lamps as a symbol of dispelling darkness and ignorance.
