Sankashti Chaturthi is the fourth day of the waning moon, kept for Ganpati. People fast through the day and eat only after seeing the moon, so the moonrise time matters more for this vrat than the date. The times below are the ones printed in the 2027 Marathi calendar.

The one Angaraki Sankashti of the year, when the chaturthi falls on a Tuesday, is on Tuesday, 22 June 2027. Moonrise that night is at 9:45 pm.

Moonrise changes by a few minutes from city to city. In Nagpur it comes earlier than in Mumbai or Kolhapur, so check a local time if you need it to the minute.

How the vrat is kept

The fast is usually a phalahar fast: sabudana, peanuts, potatoes, fruit and milk are allowed, grains are not. In the evening, after the moon is up, Ganpati is offered durva, red flowers and modak or another sweet, the Sankashti katha is read, and arghya is offered to the moon. The meal comes after that.

Vinayak Chaturthi 2027

Vinayak Chaturthi is the chaturthi of the bright half. It is kept with a lighter puja and there is no moon to wait for. Two of them in 2027 are marked as Angarak yoga days in the calendar.
