Understanding Sankashti Chaturthi in depth
Sankashti Chaturthi is the monthly Krishna paksha Chaturthi for Ganesha, with the fast broken after seeing the Moon. It is tied to a tithi, a lunar day, rather than to a fixed calendar date, so it moves through the Gregorian months and can land on any weekday. A tithi lasts while the Moon gains 12 degrees on the Sun, usually between 19 and 26 hours.
Because a tithi can begin in the afternoon and end the next afternoon, calendars need a rule to decide which day to keep. For Sankashti Chaturthi the key moment is moonrise, since the fast ends after seeing the Moon. We pick the India date on which that moment falls inside the tithi, calculated for New Delhi.
Lord Ganesha is the focus of the day. Families usually bathe early, keep a light fast and do the main puja at the special time. Food is simple: fruit, milk, sabudana and modak after moonrise. Anyone who is unwell, elderly, pregnant or young is encouraged to keep a gentle version, because the spirit of the vrat matters more than strict rules.
Some Sankashti Chaturthi dates are considered extra special because of the weekday. Angarki Chaturthi (Tuesday) are the best known. Across 2026 and 2027 there are 5 such dates, listed above.
If you live outside India, use your local times. The date can shift by a day because sunrise, sunset and moonrise happen at different moments in each city.
