Sankashti Chaturthi 2026 Observed on August 2 with Auspicious Timings

On Sunday, 2 August 2026, the Hindu month of Sawan’s Krishna Paksha Chaturthi—Sankashti Chaturthi—will be observed. Devotees will worship Lord Ganesha, whose blessings are believed to remove obstacles and bring prosperity.

Astrological calculations indicate the formation of Sarvarth Siddhi Yoga, regarded as highly auspicious. The day’s favorable periods include the Abhijit Muhurat (12:07 pm – 12:59 pm) and Amrit Kal (1:09 pm – 2:58 pm), while the Rahu Kalam (5:26 pm – 7:04 pm) is considered inauspicious. Traditional rituals involve fasting, performing Ganesha puja with offerings such as modak, and concluding the fast by offering water to the moon at Chandradayan (9:43 pm).
