Online Sankashti Chaturthi Puja – Invoke Lord Ganesha’s Blessings | VisionAstro

Join the sacred Online Sankashti Chaturthi Puja, performed live by the experienced Acharya Lokesh Jagirdar at the ancient Shree Navgrah Mandir, Khargone (M.P.), and receive the divine blessings of Lord Ganesha, the supreme remover of obstacles and god of intelligence.

Importance of Sankashti Chaturthi Puja

Sankashti Chaturthi, also called Ganesha Chaturthi, is one of the most auspicious days dedicated to Lord Ganesha. It is observed on the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase) each lunar month. When this day falls on a Tuesday, it is called Angaraki Chaturthi, named after the planet Mars, adding special significance.

On this day, devotees keep a strict fast and break it only after sighting the moon, which follows the Aarti of Lord Ganesha. The word “Sankashti” means deliverance during troubled times. Observing this fast and puja is believed to reduce obstacles and difficulties in life. Lord Ganesha is revered as the supreme lord of intelligence and Vighnaharta — the remover of all hurdles.

How to Perform Sankashti Chaturthi Pooja

• The puja is mainly conducted in the evening, after sighting the moon. If the moon is not visible, puja is performed according to the moonrise time mentioned in the Panchang.

• The idol of Lord Ganesha is beautifully decorated with flowers and Durva grass.

• Offerings include coconut, banana, and modak, which are later distributed as Prasad.

• Devotees recite prayers and mantras devoted to Lord Ganesha with full devotion.

• After completing the puja, the moon is worshipped by sprinkling water, flowers, and sandalwood paste.

Significance of Sankashti Chaturthi Pooja

The moonlight on Sankashti Chaturthi is of great importance, marking the culmination of the day’s spiritual observance. Couples desiring progeny often observe this vrat (fast) for a full year, starting after taking a head bath and worshipping Lord Ganesha. The fast is observed all day, and Ganesha is worshipped after moonrise with offerings like Modak, Durva grass, and Shwetaarka flower.

The significance of Sankashti Chaturthi is mentioned in the ancient scriptures—Bhavishya Purana and Narasimha Purana—where it is said to fulfill desires, bring happiness, and material progress to devotees.
