Namaste Everyone, today the 3am vigil monk took this photo for us all. "Sankatahara Chaturthi is also known as the Sankash-thi Chaturthi or Sankashti. Sankatahara Chaturthi which comes on Tuesday is referred to as Angaraki Sankashti Chaturthi. Sankatahara Chaturthi is done on chavithi. Sankashti Chaturthi is an auspicious day dedicated to Vinayaka or Lord Ganesha, Sankatahara Chaturthi coming in Sravanamasam, fourth day after Purnima. Sankata means problems or worries and Hara means removing. So observing Sankatahara Chaturthi is believed to help in removing all difficulties and obstacles in life. The puja is usually performed after sighting the moon. Fasting on Sankatahara Chaturthi is considered very auspicious and extremely beneficial. Sankatahara Chaturthi occurs every month."

   P/s. According to panchagam, purnima falls on 27th Oct. Therefore, today should be Shukla Chathurti.
