Timings vary by city. Every time here is for New Delhi's sunrise, sunset and moonrise; in another city they shift by a few minutes and occasionally the date does too. Dates follow Drik Panchang's Smarta (default) reckoning. Check the Panchang for your own city.

What Sankashti Chaturthi is and how it is observed

Sankashti Chaturthi (Sankat Hara Chaturthi) is the monthly fast of Lord Ganesha on Chaturthi, the 4th tithi, of the dark fortnight (Krishna paksha); "sankashti" means deliverance from trouble. Devotees fast through the day, worship Ganesha in the evening and break the fast only after seeing the Moon and offering it arghya, which is why moonrise is the key time on this page.

A Sankashti on a Tuesday is Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi, believed to be especially fruitful. The Sankashti of Magha (purnimanta) is kept in North India as Sakat Chauth.

How the date is fixed

Krishna Chaturthi: tithi prevailing at moonrise.

Sankashti is decided by the Moon, not the Sun: the vrat goes to the evening on which Chaturthi is running at moonrise, since that is when the fast is broken. The date can therefore differ from the Chaturthi date of a Panchang that goes by sunrise. Moonrise is roughly 50 minutes later each day and differs by several minutes between cities, so check it for your own city.
