Want to know the correct Sankashti Chaturthi dates and moonrise timings for 2026? This Sankashti Chaturthi Calendar 2026 makes it easy to check monthly vrat dates, Chaturthi Tithi timings, moonrise timings, and important Lord Ganesha fasting days.
Sankashti Chaturthi is a Hindu fast dedicated to Lord Ganesha. It is observed every month during Krishna Paksha, after the Full Moon. Devotees keep a fast during the day and break it only after evening puja and moonrise.
Finding the correct Sankashti Chaturthi vrat date can sometimes be confusing because the Chaturthi Tithi may start on one day and end on the next day.
According to Hindu Panchang rules, Sankashti Chaturthi vrat is usually observed on the day when the Chaturthi Tithi is present at moonrise time.
For example, if the Chaturthi Tithi starts in the evening and continues until the next night, the vrat is generally observed on the day when the moon rises during the Chaturthi Tithi.
That is why it is important to check both the moonrise timing and Chaturthi Tithi timings before observing the fast.
