Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Breaking Time or Time of breaking the fast (Moonrise time) on Sankashti

Ganesha, Ganapati or Vinayaka — there are many names. In India, we worship him first before starting anything. Lord Vinayaka's birthday is celebrated on every Sukla Chaturthi Tithi in Bhadrapada month. The culture of worshipping Ganesha is not only in India, but also in Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries. In some places Lord Ganesha is also worshipped in female form. By worshipping Ganapati, the Lord of the Pramatha Ganas, Vighnas (hurdles) are removed and the work undertaken becomes successful. For Sankasta chaturti vrat Moonrise time is important as devotees break their fasting only after Moonrise. You can find Moonrise timings for any place along with Sankasti dates in this page.

The Sankatahara Chaturthi or Sankasti Vrat is performed to worship lord Ganapati. Fasting on Sankatahara Chaturthi is considered very auspicious and highly beneficial. This Vrat is more helpful for those with a delay in marriage and children's birth. Usually, it is recommended to take up this Vrat for One year and observe fasting on all the Sankatahara Chaturthi days and end it by performing “Maha Ganapathi Homam” or “Ganesh Atharva Sheersha Parayan.” By doing this, it is believed that all the complex tasks will be accomplished, and the obstacles will be removed from one's life.
Here I am giving Sankastha Hara Chaturthi dates and Moonrise timings. Those who want to start this Vrat should start on any Angaraki day. If Sankasta Hara Chaturthi comes on Tuesday, it is called Angaraki or Angaraka Chaturthi. In the below table dates of Sankastis and times of Moonrise to complete Upavas or Fasting.
