Sankashti Chaturthi, also known as the Sankatahara Chaturthi is a festival devoted to Lord Ganesha, the benign elephant God. As the name suggests, it is celebrated on the fourth day of Krishna Paksha of every month, also called the Chaturthi tithi.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the lunar month shows two Chaturthi Tithis - Sankashti and Vinayaka Chaturthi. The first one occurs after Purnima (Krishna Paksha) whereas the second one is observed after Amavasya (Shukla Paksha).

On this day, devotees pray to Lord Ganesha to overcome their hurdles and difficulties in life which is why this festival is also called ‘Sankat Hara Chaturthi’. Angaraki Chaturthi falling on a Tuesday is considered to be the most auspicious.
One must deliberately see the Moon on this tithi to bring good luck in life and conclude their Vrat after observing this ritual.
This fast holds the power to grant all your wishes. The cycle of Sankashti Chaturthi fasting is completed with 13 vrats. And there is an exclusive Vrat Katha for each one.
