Sankashti Chaturthi, a significant Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, will take place on June 3, 2026, starting at 9:21 PM and concluding on June 4 at 11:30 PM. The festival is celebrated to eliminate obstacles and promote prosperity. In 2026, the observance is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with the rare Adhik Maas, occurring once every three years, enhancing its spiritual significance. Devotees are expected to perform rituals after moonrise, which is at 10:04 PM on June 3. During the puja, offerings such as jaggery, black sesame laddoos, and sindoor are made. Additionally, it is considered highly auspicious to offer 11 or 21 durva blades during the morning puja, which takes place between 5:23 AM and 10:31 AM on the same day. Chanting the mantra “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” 108 times during the evening rituals is believed to aid in overcoming obstacles. Worship during this period is thought to multiply blessings and enhance spiritual growth, making the observance of Sankashti Chaturthi on June 3-4, 2026, particularly powerful for devotees.
