Sankashti Chaturthi Calendar 2026
Sankashti Chaturthi is a highly revered Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of wisdom and prosperity.
Observed every month on the fourth day after the full moon, this festival holds special spiritual significance for devotees seeking relief from difficulties and obstacles in life. The year 2026 presents a series of auspicious dates for Sankashti Chaturthi including the highly significant Angarki Sankashti on 5th May which falls on a Tuesday a day considered especially favorable for worshiping Lord Ganesha.
Devotees observe a day long fast which may range from consuming only fruits and water to a strict nirjalaast depending on personal vows. The fast is broken in the evening after performing Ganesh puja and offering prayers at home or in temples. The rituals typically include chanting of Ganapati Atharvasirsha, Ganesh mantras and recitation of Sankashti Chaturthi stotras. Special offerings like modak, ladoos and other sweets are prepared as these are believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favorite.
Sankashti Chaturthi is not only a day for fasting but also a day for introspection, emotional cleansing and spiritual renewal. Each date carries unique energy, encouraging devotees to release past burdens seek forgiveness and strengthen their inner resolve. In Kerala, this festival is widely observed in temples with special pujas, devotional songs and rituals drawing large gatherings of devotees.
