Sankashti Chaturthi 2025: Muhurat, Rituals, And Benefits Of Worshipping Lord Ganesha
Sankashti Chaturthi, also known as Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi, is an important Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha. It is observed on the Chaturthi (fourth day) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the Ashadha month, according to the Amanta Hindu calendar. In the Purnimanta calendar, this falls in the month of Shravana.
On this special day, devotees worship Lord Ganesha in the form of Gajanana. The name 'Gajanana' comes from two words: 'Gaja' meaning elephant, and 'Anana' meaning face, so Gajanana means 'the one with an elephant face'.
