* [[Sankashti Chaturthi]] is the ''Chaturthi'' (4th day) of the ''Krishna'' ''Paksha'' (waning [[lunar phase]]) after [[Purnima]] (full moon). If this Chaturthi falls on a ''Mangalvaar'' (Tuesday) it is called ''Angarki Chaturthi''. On this day, the devotees observe strict ''Vrat'' (fast). They conclude the fast at night after having ''darshan (a''uspicious sighting) of the moon preceded by prayers to [[Lord Ganesha]]. The Angarki Chaturthi (angarak in Sanskrit means red like burning coal ambers similar to planet Mars' ([[Mangala|Mangal's]]) appearance). Devotees believe their wishes would be fulfilled if they pray on this auspicious day. Also ''Sankashti'' means deliverance during troubled times, hence observing this fast is believed to reduce your problems as Lord Ganesha symbolizes the remover of all obstacles and supreme lord of intelligence. Before moonlight the Ganapati Atharvashesha is recited to summon the blessings of Lord Ganesha. |

Chaturthi (Kannada: ಚತುರ್ಥಿorಚೌತಿ; Telugu: చతుర్థిorచవితి; Sanskrit: चतुर्थी, Hindi: चतुर्थी or चौथ[1]), is the fourth day (Tithi) of both waxing and waning phase of any Lunar month in the Hindu calendar.
During each month, Lord Ganesha is worshiped with a different name and peeta (Lotus petals). On the Charturti day (4th day after new moon) of each month, the 'Sankashta Ganapathi Pooja' prayer is performed. Each ‘Vratha’ (strict fast) has a purpose and is explained to us by a story known as the ‘Vratha Katha’. This prayer offering has 13 Vratha Kathas, one for each month and the 13th story is for 'athika' (The Hindu calendar has one extra month every 4 years). The uniqueness of this Vratha is that the story pertaining to that month alone has to be recited.
