Sakat Chauth 2026: Special Til & Jaggery Rituals for Children's Well-being

• Sakat Chauth Vrat is observed on Magh Krishna Paksha Chaturthi for children's well-being, worshipping Lord Ganesha, Sakat Mata, and the Moon.
• Mothers perform a full-day fast, sometimes Nirjala, praying for their children's protection from troubles.
• Key rituals involve sesame (til) and jaggery (gur) offerings, considered best for this fast.
• A symbolic 'sesame goat' is made from sesame and jaggery, then cut with Durva grass, representing overcoming obstacles and pleasing Lord Ganesha.
• A 'sesame mountain' (symbolizing obstacles) is made and cut with a silver coin, giving the fast its name 'Til-kuta Chauth'.

Why It Matters: Sakat Chauth rituals with sesame and jaggery ensure children's well-being and protection from troubles.
