Ekadanta Sankashti Chaturthi: History, Significance, Rituals

Ekadanta Sankashti Chaturthi is a festival celebrated on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the waning moon (Krishna Paksha) in the Hindu calendar month of Magha (January-February). This festival is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity who is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and the patron of knowledge, wisdom, and good fortune.

The name “Ekadanta” means “one-tusked” and refers to the unique physical feature of Lord Ganesha, who is depicted with one of his tusks broken. The term “Sankashti” means “deliverance during difficult times,” and the festival is believed to bring good fortune and remove obstacles from the lives of devotees who observe it with devotion and faith.

On this day, devotees observe a strict fast throughout the day and break it only after sighting the moon at night. They offer special prayers and perform puja to Lord Ganesha, reciting his mantras and singing hymns in his praise. The festival is widely celebrated across India, particularly in Maharashtra, where it is known as Sankashti Chaturthi, and is marked by colorful processions, music, and community feasting.
