Sankashti Vrat and Puja is dedicated to Lord Ganesha and is observed on the fourth day after Purnima or full moon. Sankashti fasting is from morning to the sighting of the moon. Sankashti Puja is performed in the evening. Observing Sankashta Chaturthi is believed to help in removing all difficulties and obstacles in life.
For most people Sankashti Chaturti is a complete fast which is broken after sighting the moon and performing puja. There are also people who observe partial fast.
Sankashti Chaturti Morning
After early morning bath, prayers are offered to Lord Ganesha in the usual way by lighting a lamp or Aarti. Anyone of the prayers dedicated to Lord Ganesh is chanted. The fasting begins after puja.
Food that can be eaten by those observing Partial Fasting
Those people observing partial fast can eat Sabudana Khichadi or fruits or curd rice.
Sankashti Chaturthi Evening Puja
The puja is usually performed after sighting the moon. If moon is not sighted, the puja is performed as per the moonrise time given in the Panchang or calendar.
After sighting the moon, an idol or painting or photo of Lord Ganesh is decorated using flowers and Durva grass.
A lamp is lit.
A coconut, banana and flowers are offered to Lord Ganesh.
Usually a Prasad (Modak or any other sweet) is prepared and offered.
Aarati is performed. Other usual puja procedures like chanting mantras, lighting incense or agarbatis are done.
After the Puja the Prasad is distributed.
Some people opt for a more elaborate Shodashopchar puja – 16 steps.
Sankashti Chaturthi Evening Puja to Moon
Special pujas are offered to Chandra or moon god
The puja involves sprinkling water, sandalwood paste, flowers and consecrated rice in the direction of the moon.
Mantras Chanted During Sankashti Vrat Day
- Sankashtnashana sthothra
- Ganesha Ashtothara
- Vakrathunda mahakaya or any of the popular mantras dedicated to Lord Ganesh is chanted.

Hello,
I did start my Vrat on last sankasti chathurthi. But, in the afternoon my friends came to my house and they asked me to go with them to their house. Since, I was not able to say "NO" I did go with them.
In their house, Since I had no other option I have to eat chicken. So I had chicken.
After that, I had bacon (pork) and beers also.
I feel guilty that I have committed a sin. Because, it was overall a messy thing. I started Vrat did not complete it properly and had Non-Vegetarian food and drinks too.
Hence, I would suggest you to give me some procedure to withdraw the Vrat in the middle if we are not able to continue. This would really helpful overcome my guilty feelings.
Thanks,
Karthik
Dear Karthik,
I can understand your feelings but what is past is past.
Going forward, just tell your friends that you are sorry but you don't want to accompany them.
At the end of the day, God is the best friend to have. Your other friends may not be with you in your bad times.
regards
Rare Sankashtahara Chaturthi Muhurta is coming on 2nd Feb 2010. A combination of Magha Bahula Chaturthi and Tuesday! Don't miss it.
Thank you for your suggestions..
i have few questions that needs to be answered.when we say complete fast does that mean water also..how is it??
and i discontinue in the middle without remembering.is there any solution.thanks for your time and patience.
You can drink water and also take fruits. Shilpa Patel
Dear Kartik,
Try to recite Ganesha Atharvashirsha on Sankashti Chaturthi.
Reciting Atharvashirsha on Sankashti is of great importance.
can i take coffee during vrat?
You can have tea/coffee (no special ingredients added to it, tea leaves,milk sugar and water, if you like you can add cardammom or ginger root to it), fruits, sabudana khichadi (make sure it is prepared in ghee and rock salt is used and not regular salt. I use sea salt [you can get this at any store, like Traders Joe, Sams Club, Jewel Osco])
Hope this helps.
where can i get the athravshirsha mantra?
Ganesh Atharvshirsha mantra chanting is on youtube, and text is on other websites just do a search.. try celextel

Hi,

thanks guys

Hi guys,
Ganesh likes beetle leaves garland. Just take 6 leaves and make as a graland and decorate either to his idol or the photo. Observe this on Tuesday is auspicious and offer raw milk with jageery in it. By accepting this, he melts like anything and our wishes will be fulfilled.
Thanks

Now,I want to start the pooja again, can anyone tell me how and what I can eat/drink And also is durva grass is mandatory? What do I do if don't get it? (I may not get, otherwise I go searching in parks which is not really possible bcoz I'm working) Please some one drop me mail on this at sowmya.nck@gmail.com
Pls help me.
Hello Sowmya,
If u get any solution for your qn thro mail kindly post it in this page. So that people can clear their own doubts w/o repetition of the questions
hi i have been keeping this fast since my childhood was just wondering tonite is my cousins cocktail and there is sankashti today , i am a pure vegetarian but is it ok if i have wine at the function tonite after the moonrise and doing the pooja?
I started the vrat in february of this year, and my friend suggested that i do it 21 consecutive times, i missed the july vrat and i am really upset about it. I know i can do nothing about that, but will i have to do 21 vrats anew or can i count the previous ones, even though there was a break in between?
Hi..
Those who perform the sankasti vrata can sleep or take rest on afternoon ?
I had a dream of a new Ganesh ji mandir somewhere. I went in to do puja before entering mandir there was shiv ji. I just about to pour water on shivlinge when few people stopped me and said there was no shivlinge and what was i doing. Although i tried to convince them there was!!!they told me its a Ganesh ji mandir...I could see the shivlinge in front of me...I was so hurt that people has stopped me from doing my puja...my heart was so heavy..I woke up with tears in my eyes..Now i have decided to perform the sankashti vrat for the first time...Does anybody know what this dream mean????
Sounds like you are being told to worship Sri Ganesha before/more than Shivji.
Anyway Shivji himself granted first place in all prayers to Ganshaji so it should be alright by Shivji when you now start to concentrate more on Ganeshaji. Perhaps it is Shivji's blessings itself that is telling you to do this.
Do Sankashti vrat, ask very humbly and devotedly from Ganeshaji for blessings and forgiveness of any unintentional mistakes earlier, or during vrat & puja.
I think you have been more of a Shivji devotee till now. Am I right?
Afterwards on a Monday or Pradosham day or monthly Shivratri worship Shivji and tell your deream silently.Say you are following this dream you think came from his guidance, and ask for further guidance, forgiveness if you misunderstood, ask for blessings in all cases.
Gods are our friends and well wishers as long as we tread the Dharma path - be joyful that you have got a message from them. Celebrate!
Be on the lookout for a new Ganesha temple nearby, or one being started now, and support it.
Jai Ganeshaji!
Jai Shivji!
Hey this is a great! This vratha is very effective. Let me share my experience: I was in Bangalore and was seeking PG seat. I did not get 1st year and after making Ganesh Chaturhti fasting I got the seat next year. I continued the fasting and I got the Job very next month after I graduated. Also I got allmost all my dreams... I must say myself stupid after stoping this fasting and now I am stuck without promotion from past 3.5 years(It use to happen once in 2 years always for me :( ).

Hi
I have been keeping fast on Ganesh Sankashti for the last 6 months. I live in London and, and I would like to know the moonrise time in london as well. Will you please publish the moonrise time for london as well as you have done for other cities as well. This will be helpul as most of the times I can't see the moon due to clouds. If I know the moonrise time I can perform my evening pooja accordingly. Many thanks
The moonrise time in London on April 21, 2011 is at 00:48 local time.
Thank you, will you please publish the rest that is moonrise time in london on every Ganesh Sankashthi. Thank you
can you pls tell me when is sankashti charurti in los angeles in the month of may. i am confused as on the internet there are two dates 20th and some say 21st. also can i eat fruits during the day.and what fruits. i am observing the fast today.
i have been observing sankashti vrat for the last 2 months.after breaking my fast i eat sabudana kichadi but used regular salt for cooking .is that wrong.what can be done.
It is ok to eat kichadi there is no problem. This is followed by many.
Yes you can observed it on May 21 and you can eat fruits any fruits or you can also opt for food made using Sabudana.
whats the meaning of partial fast??? is it not complete fast??? eating khichdi and fruits are compulsory or we can leave??? and can we eat something after evening puja??? puja should be done in moring or in evening??
Partial fast is observed by elders, those who are sick, working women and men etc. In this fast they eat something like fruits etc during day time. Those observing total fast can eat a vegetarian meal after sighting the moon.
can someone pls tell me whether the evening puja has to be done after sunset and the fast to be broken after moonrise or the puja has to be done after moonrise.
When can one start seeing the benefits of doing sankashti vrat.
Puja is during the normal time...after sunset. The fast is broken on sighting the moon.
I have severe acidity problem. can I take a cup of milk at 4am before starting my fast or will my fast break if I do that.
can someone one pls tell me what food can be eaten after sighting the moon. can one eat curd rice or have milk.or can one eat regular normal food.thanks
no you can take milk there is no problem and your fast will not be broken.
You can also opt for partial fast. You can take fruits etc.
After sighting the moon you can eat a normal vegetarian food.
during fast is it ok to have cornflakes with milk

Hi vignes...Ganesha will surely remove all your difficulties and you will have a peaceful and prosperous life.
Hi All,
I have been doing sankastahara chathurthi vratam for quite sometime now. However, i am unclear about the Vratam's procedure. As i browse through several sites and read the books, each of them have their own version of the Vratam. For ex: On most of the sites, including this one, i see a mention of breaking the fast after sighting the moon. But a few sites and 2 books mention that the fast should be continued through night and broken only on next day morning(This is as per the "skanda purana" story, that is read, during the pooja"). Now what is totally confusing here is which one should i follow. Kindly help me with the right one as i completely believe in this vrat . This is one of the greatest vrats known to mankind and the yeilds are great, if done correctly.
Regards
Venkat
Breaking fast after moonrise is followed in Maharashtra and other regions.
You can select the way want to do it.
Does anyone knows what kind of grass is offered to Lord Ganesha during the vrata and is it available easily in market
Durva Grass... yes it is easily available near all Ganesh temples.
On which day we can start Sankashta Chaturthi Vrata .
when it came on tuesday we should start fasting or any day?
Hi!
I live in Toronto, Canada and not all the ingrediants for the pooja are easily available can someone please tell me if I can simply light a diya and incense with the kalash and recite Atharvashirsha?
@ Sunitha...you can begin the fast on any Sankashti. Some choose to begin when Sankashti falls on Tuesday.
@Ashu... you can simply light a diya and do the prayer. You can always be flexible in Hindu pujas. Chanting Aharvashirsha is good.

Hi
am doing sankasathi for last 5yrs. i started it wishing a happy married life ...but just after marriage of 2months my husband is a characterless and impotent also due to many relationship...now iam going for a divorce...i did d vrat without taking anything even without drinking a single drop of water...but see what i got...still i continue with d vrat...but i cant advice anyone about this vrat...
Dear everybody,
This will be my first time to do sankasathi. I don't know all the hindu words but i do Ganesh puja and puja to the other gods adn goddes.
To anonymous, for a happy married live do Shiva and parvati puja on the monday. You'll see it will aprove your situation and don't give up.
Some results takes time, like the god's Ram situation. I hope that everybody will have a good and healthy loveable life. Oh what food is kichdi?
Hello, Thanks for this post. I have a query. I dont get doorva grass near my home. what to do please help me.
I have a query. Last December I started Sankashti Vrat.Since I am working I could not go to temple in the morning.So I prayed to Lord Ganesha and I started my day with a cup of Masala tea.In the afternoon I had a cup of fruit juice.In between plain water if I am thirsty.In the evening I went to Lord Ganesha temple and went around 108 times around Lord Ganesha, did archana with doorva grass or Arugampul in tamil and then chanted Sankashtnashana sthothra.At night after puja had a full set of meal(rice). Kindly advise me if what I am doing is correct before next Chatuthi.This is the first time I am fasting so I really appreciate if you can advise me on this so that I can strictly follow the fast from coming chaturthi onwards.
You are doing correct. This is ideal way. I would suggest you eat fruits as you are working during day time.
Thanks for your advise Kavitha.I really appreciate it.
During Sankashti Vrat must we chant Sankadakara Sostram 3 times or one time will do? Is it ok if I break my Sankashti Vrat by having full meal dinner or is it advisable to go for Kitchadi?Are there any vegetables or spices to be avoided on that day? For some vrat we are not suppose to add salt.
IF I HAVE A PACK OF GLUCOSE BISCUITS AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER IS IT STILL CONSIDERED DATING
Hi. What if Im from Croatia? and I wanna fast on ekadashi vrat(Lord Vishnu), trayodashi vrat(Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati), purnima vrat(Goddess) and Sankashti Chaturti(Ganesh)... So would be too much for my organism and body and mind? But I think that would be very beneficial..And if it that way is ok to remove neg. karma and to fullfill desires and good luck, and to clean sins..to complete fast on this days and after sunset eat one meal...
If that is too much then I was thinking to choose Trayodashi Vrat..Pradosh fasting... To fullfil desires and to remove neg. karma and sins through observing fastings on auspicious days.
Im from Croatia, and I think that I dont have all those products, foods for offering to shivlinga or to offering to picture of god....I have little shivlinga, or ishtaling I think so..So Im bathing it every day..Im planning to start observing pradosh vrats, so I want to do it correctly, so Im asking you people to help me how to do it correctly?

Hello friends,
I have a doubt, please clarify it..!
on may 9th, 2012 sankata hara chaturthi, i have done fasting and prayers to lord ganesha in the morning and evening. But i have ended the fasting before moon rise on that day around 9:10pm. because moon was not raised at that time and i saw the stars anyhow so may be moon was covered with clouds it seems so that is why i have ended my fasting @ 9:10pm. Will it be considered as a fasting and what i done is completely wrong? please reply friends with appropriate answer. Thanks a lot..! :(
@Venkata...it is counted as a fasting. There is no problem. You can break fast after a particular period after evening prayers.
@Sini: Thanks a lot for your kind information.! am happy..! :)

Can we drink only water on sankatahara chaturti fast? it does not mean am breaking a fast right?
You can drink water or juice it is normal. No you are not breaking fast.
@neha...you can opt for the moonrise time in your calendar and break fast.
@nonymous...You can offer prayers to Ganesha in your mind where ever you are in the evening. This will be enough.
dear frienz,what i would like to tell you my life experince,i think when you Want something very heartly, sincearly, and it does't harm any god created creation than definetly you will get it, n doing fasting without break or minar mistakes, is posible when your will power is so strong,dont mind for any thing which will come in your way to distarb your fast, challenge them do it only for 1 time then you will c the power of that fasting in your life, after dis god shree ganesha is always with you to support, then no one in this universe have the ability to stop you geting success.Devotees of ganapati are always blessed with all the gods in this universe, even allah & jesus. Remember don't lose your heart when you will have trobles os difficulties during your fasting, have strong desier to get for what you started fast, definitly you will get even though you are not deserved for what you want shree ganesh will teach you the lessons to become able for what you need,you will be passed through many crisis situation but never lose hope on your ganesha, at finaly you will reach what you wanted, you will not come to know how you reached but you will get what you want. so all that is your percentage of faith & intensity of devotion which will take you to your desierd aim.So be prepared for some crisis & be sure you will not withdraw,gods love is always 100% so what you can do to get that pure 100% love by ganesha you do it in any cercumstances.Believe me you can do anything with ganeshas grace, Coz nothing is impossible for him...Jai ganesh, shree ganesh Thanks all the best for your life of devotion.

Regards
@Rajni...You can do evening puja. There is no problem with performing puja before moonrise.
You can do any number of vrat. 12, 16 it is for you to decide.
You should take water and eat fruits.
Most important is devotion not the hardness of fast.
Hi,
I'm planning to start this vrat , i heard it should be started when this vrat comes on tuesday/friday , so i'm starting today. Please suggest if this is fine.From now on i'm planning to do this for 21 months , hope this is fine right?
Thanks,
Kavitha
Lord Ganesha is SHIPRAPRASADHI means he is happy with even a small prayer or fast.So all Ganesh
devotees can be rest assured that even if we commit a small mistake in the vrat he will not be
angry with us and He will bless us.I take the vrat and since I am working I eat fruits .I take tea/coffee,oats during the vrat.I feel that this is okay.In the evening I sometimes wait till 9 pm and then if moonrise is not seen I just worship the Lord and have my tiffin
im living in uganda can anybody suggest when will be the moon rise here

Hello! I observed some people are asking if they can do vrat when they are pregnant. YOu are NOT supposed to fast during pregnancy. It is not right. You can just pray and continue after the baby is born. If you are feeding the baby also, you are not supposed to fast. Please take the advice from your elders or any priest from the temple.
If you saw Ganesha by mistake, you can do the puja again, and read the story of Samnthakopakhyanam, which is the story of Sri Krishna being blamed for no fault of his due to his seeing he moon in the milk pot. He takes a lot of trouble to prove his innocence. When He is clear of His reputation, people understand the reason and pray to Him that because He is God, He was able to prove his innocence. How are common people able to do that? So, the compassionate Lord gives the varnam that if they read about His story, and put he katha ask hats on their head after putting some on The Lord Ganesha, they will not have any troubles even if by mistake they see he Moon. Please look for the story.
I am a diabeties patient, I cannot do fasting for whole day. Even then can I start this vrat
Please advise me
hi is it possible to continue this sankashti vrat if i have my monthly period or i have to stop the vrat
Moon represents the mind.Hence the deeper meaning to this Vratam is to calm the mind and acquire chittashuddhi.There is no need to have a transaction with the divine.When the mind is cal. Automatically we find solutions to our problems
I am doing this vrat from last 6 yrs, all was going well untill on 1 vrat i forgot & ate non-veg. i was so shamed that i begged punishment for the same from ganesh-ji. but instead of that they blessed me with a wonderful gift & that was after that yrs for continously 3yrs without any break( ladies problem) i completed & enjoyed all my vrat .
But that was not the end after 3yrs,bcoz of proudness that i am blessed & god is mine i got a punishment that i was not able to perform jan-month 1st vrat,but any which way since their was 2 vrath on that month so i performed the 2nd one.
MY query is that"Will ganesh-ji again bless me OR not ".
hallo... i am keeping this fast since a year... i missed one can somebody tell me ...what should i do... how long u have to keep these fasts...please reply
