What Sankashti Chaturthi is
The fourth tithi of the dark fortnight, kept for Ganesha as the remover of obstacles. Observed with a fast broken after moonrise.
How the date is fixed
Sankashti Chaturthi falls once a lunar month. The observance day is the one on which that tithi is running at sunrise - the conventional rule - which is why it moves against the Gregorian calendar each month rather than landing on a fixed date.
