Sankashti Chaturthi 2027 list with moonrise time

Sankashti is kept on the day Krishna paksha Chaturthi is present at moonrise. Months are North Indian (purnimanta) / South Indian (amanta); moonrise is for New Delhi.

* These dates follow the moonrise rule. Calendars that go by the sunrise tithi show the next day in some months, for example 26 Mar, 23 Jun and 21 Aug. One such calendar has no January date. On 23 May, Chaturthi is present at moonrise on both 23 and 24 May; moonrise-rule panchangs take 23 May.

New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes. Where a tithi straddles two days, dates may differ by a day by region or panchang.

How the Sankashti fast ends at moonrise

Sankashti means release from difficulty. In tradition, devotees fast from sunrise, often on fruit and milk, and worship Ganesha in the evening. The puja uses durva grass, red flowers, modak or til laddoo and a lamp, followed by the Sankashti katha.

• Wait for the moon after the evening puja.
• When it rises, offer arghya to Chandra with water, milk, akshat and a flower.
• Pray to Ganesha and Chandra, then break the fast with the naivedya.

Many devotees also recite the Sankatnashan Ganesh Stotra, which names twelve forms of Ganesha, or the Ganesh Atharvashirsha. Each month's Sankashti has its own name and katha; the table shows the form of Ganesha worshipped that month.

Moonrise changes by city and can be hidden by cloud. If the moon is not visible, many families offer arghya at the panchang moonrise time. For today's moonrise in your city, check the Panchang in the Divine Hindu App.

Angarki Chaturthi, Sakat Chauth and Karwa Chauth in 2027

Sakat Chauth, also called Tilkuta Chauth in North India, is the Sankashti of Magha on 25 Jan (Mon). In tradition, mothers keep this fast praying for their children, and til (sesame) with jaggery is offered to Ganesha.
