Sankashti Chaturthi is a Hindu festival that is celebrated on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Margashirsha. The festival is also known as Sankatahara Chaturthi or Sankranti and is observed in honor of Lord Ganesha. The word ‘Sankashti’ means ‘deliverance from troubles’ and ‘Chaturthi’ refers to the fourth day. Hence, the festival is believed to be auspicious for seeking Lord Ganesha’s blessings for relief from problems and obstacles.
Sankashti Chaturthi is observed every month but it holds special significance when it falls on Tuesdays as it is known as Angarika Chaturthi. It is also considered to be an auspicious day for starting new ventures. On this day, devotees wake up early and take a holy bath. They then dress up in new clothes and offer prayers to Lord Ganesha. A special puja is performed along with the chanting of mantras and singing of bhajans. Devotees also observe a fast on this day and break it only after sighting the moon in the evening. It is believed that observing Sankashti Chaturthi vrat helps in reducing problems and brings good luck.
There is no definitive answer to this question. Some people believe that Sankashti Chaturthi is good because it helps to remember Lord Ganesha and brings people together in celebration. Other people believe that Sankashti Chaturthi is bad because it can be a time of excessive noise and pollution. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether they believe Sankashti Chaturthi is good or bad.
