This is the authoritative July Sankasti Date and Moonrise Time calculated for Columbus. Unlike generic calendars, this data is computed using Drik Siddhanta (Swiss Ephemeris) to ensure the Moonrise time is astronomically accurate for your specific location.
Astrologer Santhosh Kumar's Note
"In my 26 years of practice, I have often seen devotees confused by standard calendars that show a single Moonrise time for all of India. Please remember: The fast must only be broken after seeing the Moon *at your location*. For Columbus, the time varies by minutes compared to other cities. If the sky is cloudy, you may offer Arghya towards the East at the calculated time shown below."

Understanding Sankashti Terminology
Common terms used in the Vrat Vidhi explained:
| Vedic Term | Meaning & Significance |
|---|---|
| Sankata Hara | Literal translation: "Remover of Difficulties." It is believed that observing this fast reduces the karma that causes obstacles. |
| Chandrodaya (Moonrise) | The precise moment the Moon appears on the horizon. In this Vrat, water (Arghya) is offered only after this time. |
| Angarki Chaturthi | When the 4th lunar day (Chaturthi) falls on a Tuesday (Angaraka/Mars). This is considered the most powerful day for removing debts and health issues. |
| Arghya | A ritual offering of water, sandalwood paste, and flowers to the Moon God, seeking peace for the mind (as Moon rules the Mind). |
How to Observe the Fast (Vidhi)
Devotees observe this fast with great dedication. Here is the traditional procedure:
- Morning Sankalp: Wake up during Brahma Muhurta, take a bath, and mentally vow to observe the fast.
- Fasting Rules: You may observe Nirjala (no water) or Phalahar (fruits/milk) depending on your health.

- Moon Worship: At the Moonrise time shown above, offer Arghya to the Moon and break the fast with Modak prasad.
