Sankatahara Chaturthi Puja

Sankatahara Chaturthi Puja

Sankatahara Chaturthi falls every month on the fourth day (Chaturthi) after the full moon, during the waning phase. Sankata Hara means “remover of troubles”, and the day is dedicated to Lord Ganesha.

On every Sankatahara Chaturthi at 6:45 pm, Sri Ganesha Temple Plano performs Ganesha Abhishekam, followed by the powerful Ganesha Trishati Nama Archana (worship with 300 names of Sri Ganesha) and Deeparadhana.

Significance

Many devotees fast on this day and break the fast after sighting the moon in the evening, after praying to Sri Ganesha. Observing Sankatahara Chaturthi is believed to remove obstacles and difficulties and bring peace and prosperity. When it falls on a Tuesday, it is called Angaraka Chaturthi and is considered especially auspicious.

When you book this puja, the priest recites the names and nakshatras of your family members in the sankalpam and offers the puja on your behalf.

Timings can change on festival and special puja days, so please check the temple calendar before you visit.
