Frequently asked questions
How many Sankashti Chaturthi are in 2025?+
There are 11 Sankashti Chaturthi in 2025 for the Delhi region — one in each lunar month.
Why is the moonrise time important?+
The Sankashti fast is broken only after sighting the moon, so the moonrise (chandrodaya) time decides when you can eat. Each date below shows the Delhi moonrise.
What is Sakat Chauth?+
The Sankashti Chaturthi in the month of Magha is called Sakat Chauth (or Lambodara Sankashti), especially observed by mothers for their children’s wellbeing.
What is Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi?+
When Sankashti Chaturthi falls on a Tuesday it is called Angarki Chaturthi, regarded as especially powerful for Ganesha worship — a single Angarki is said to equal the merit of many. It occurs only once or twice a year.
How is Sankashti Chaturthi observed?+
Devotees fast through the day, worship Ganesha, read the Sankashti vrat katha, and break the fast only after sighting the moon and offering arghya — using the moonrise time shown for each date. Many offer modak or til-gud.
What can you eat on Sankashti Chaturthi?+
The fast is usually kept until moonrise, then broken with phalahar — fruit, sabudana, potato, til (sesame) and jaggery are common. The strictness is a personal choice.
