Sankashti Chaturthi 2026: Remove Troubles, Attain Ganapati's Grace in Shravana Masam!

• Sankatahara Chaturthi, especially in Shravana Masam, is believed to remove troubles and obstacles, bringing Ganapati's grace.
• It's the Chaturthi after Pournami (Krishna Paksham), observed when the tithi is near sunset; if on two days during Pradosha Kalam, the second day is chosen.
• Devotees perform elaborate puja: bathing, decorating Vinayaka, offering a bundle with rice/betel/areca, reading Sankatanashana Ganesha Stotram and Vrata Katha.
• Naivedyam is offered, lamps are lit, and temple pradakshinas are performed; the worshipped Vinayaka is not moved until sunset.
• Observing this vrata, even once, is believed to bring Ganesha's grace, resolving life's difficulties and changing one's life.

Why It Matters: Observe Sankatahara Chaturthi in Shravana Masam for Ganapati's grace, removing troubles and transforming life.
