About Sankashti Chaturthi

Ganesha/Narada Purana: the Ganesha vrat and the Moon arghya on the Krishna Chaturthi bring the end of troubles, freedom from debt, removal of obstacles, the blessing of children; Ganesha cursed the Moon with a blemish and then ordained the arghya to that very Moon on Sankashti — without seeing the Moon the Sankashti is incomplete (the reverse on Vinayaka Chaturthi — seeing the Moon is forbidden).

Angarki Sankashti: Mangala (Angaraka) did penance to Ganesha and won the boon that the Tuesday Sankashti be named after him and its fruit equal a whole year's Sankashtis — hence lakhs at the temples of Maharashtra-Karnataka on Angarki (Siddhivinayak, Ashtavinayak, Dagdusheth). The Sankashti date is moonrise-vyapini — the day on which the Chaturthi is present at moonrise; Vinayaka's is midday-vyapini.

Frequently asked questions

How many Sankashti Chaturthi are there in 2027?

12 in UK (London). Lunar months do not align with the calendar year, so the count can be 11 or 13.

Are these the same dates as in India?

2 of the 12 dates differ from India for London, because the tithi is judged at the local moment (sunrise/moonrise/Pradosh) and UK is hours away from India in time.

What is the difference between Sankashti and Vinayaka Chaturthi?

Sankashti = the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi (after the Purnima) — the fast from sunrise to moonrise, paran after the arghya to the Moon, the removal of troubles; Vinayaka = the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi (after the Amavasya) — puja at noon, do not see the Moon (the tale of the blemish); the Vinayaka of Bhadrapada is Ganesh Chaturthi, the Sankashti of Magha is Sakat Chauth; both in the list above.

What is Angarki Sankashti, why so great?

The Sankashti that falls on a Tuesday — Ganesha's boon to Angaraka (Mars) after his penance that the Tuesday Sankashti's fruit equal a whole year's Sankashtis; 1-3 times a year; lakhs fast and queue at temples in Maharashtra; special for those with Mangal dosha; you will find '(Angarki)' marked in the list above.

What if it is cloudy and the Moon is not visible?

After the moonrise time (above) give the arghya in the Moon's direction (east) or take the reflection in a mirror/water in the thali — the paran is valid; the vrat complete; do not delay too late into the night; if moonrise is very late (after 10), the unwell and pregnant take fruit earlier.
