Sankata Hara Sankashti Chaturthi is celebrated with fasting during the waning phase of the moon on every fourth day of the month. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, people worship the deity on this day for taking away their troubles and sorrows.

Revellers fast all day and break it at the sight of the moon at night. Thus the timing of moonrise or Chandrodaya is of importance for those who are fasting.  Here are the timings of today’s moonrise in different cities of the country.
