This Hindu festival is observed every month on the “ Chaturthi ” (Fourth Day) of the Krishna Paksha (the waning phase of moon).
On this day, devotees worship Lord Ganesha to overcome their hurdles in life and to come out as an achiever in difficult times. Sankashti Chaturthi or Sankatahara Chaturthi is a festival devoted to the benign Elephant God or Lord Ganesha.
