Pooja is performed after the moon rise(however most temples start pooja by 6 in the evening. If you want to perform a detailed pooja of 1 1/2 hours, you need to buy a cassette or a CD or download from internet. It is similar to vinayak chouti pooja.

There is no problem and don't worry. Now you must take care of your baby. Don't torture yourself and the baby by thinking of it or by performing vrats. Ganeshji is not cruel. He will bless your child.

I missed my fast on 15 October as I knew it to be on 16 October should I jeep it tomorrow please help urgent

Sharma said...

Yes you can observe it tomorrow as there is Chaturthi Tithi tomorrow till 1:00 PM. So you can observe the fast.

But you should not make it a practice to miss the moonrise prayers and fasting.
