Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Dates

Upcoming Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Dates in 2026

Religious Significance

Devotees fast through the day to seek the removal of obstacles (Vighna Vinashaka) and traditionally break the fast after sighting the moon in the evening.

Fasting Rules / What to Avoid

Grains and cereals are typically avoided. The fast is broken only after Chandra Darshan (moonrise sighting), with a formal Argha offering to the Moon.
