Sankashti Chaturthi is the 4th day of the Krishna Paksha (waning moon). Devotees observe a fast and break it only after moonrise. It is dedicated to Lord Ganesha - worshipped to remove obstacles and grant success.
Sakat Chauth is the Sankashti Chaturthi that falls in the month of Magh (January–February). It is considered the most important of all Sankashti fasts, especially in North India.
Sankashti Chaturthi is a monthly Hindu vrat (fast) observed on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the Krishna Paksha (waning fortnight) of each lunar month. The fast is dedicated to Lord Ganesha and is believed to remove obstacles (sankat) from devotees' lives. The word "Sankashti" itself is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "deliverance from difficulties." Devotees fast from sunrise until moonrise, break the fast only after sighting the moon, and offer prayers (puja) with modak (Ganesha's favourite sweet) and durva grass.
The Sankashti that falls in the month of Magh (January-February) is called Sakat Chauth or Til Chauth and is especially significant for mothers who fast for their children's well-being. It is widely observed in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. The Angaraki Sankashti - when Chaturthi falls on a Tuesday (Angaravar) - is considered extraordinarily auspicious and draws large gatherings at Ganesha temples across Maharashtra, particularly at Siddhivinayak in Mumbai and Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati in Pune.
