Angarki Chaturthi: Break Fast Same Day After Moonrise, Not Next!
- •Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi fast, dedicated to Lord Ganesha, gains immense significance when it falls on a Tuesday.
- •Scriptural rules dictate that the fast must be broken on the same day, at night, only after 'Chandra Darshan' (sighting the moon).
- •Unlike Ekadashi, there is no tradition of breaking the Sankashti fast on the next day; food can be consumed after moonrise.
- •The correct method involves checking moonrise time, offering Arghya to the moon, performing Ganesha Aarti, and then consuming Naivedya.
- •If the moon is not visible, one can break the fast by bowing in the moon's direction and offering water at the Panchang's specified moonrise time.
Why It Matters: Angarki Chaturthi fast is broken on the same day after moonrise, not the next, following specific rituals.
