Hi Frnds... Just wanted to share this info. I guess some of you may be already knowing this... Angaraka Chaturthi is observed when the monthly Sankashti Chaturthi (Sankashtahara Vinayaka chathurthuthi) falls on a Tuesday. The day is then considered highly auspicious. Angaraka Chaturthi falls on Sept 4th (tuesday) this year. Just thought wil share with you ppl
Hi Raki - Thank you for sharing the info. What do you usually do on this day? I never celebrated / Fasted on this day and I would like to know more details
Dear Raki Sister, Thanks for sharing, sometimes it will strike only on that day, when we get to know on that day preparations may be difficult. Glad you did it, May Baba bless you in abundance and fulfill your wishes too.
Hi you can find more details here http://www.indusladies.com/forums/pujas-prayers-and-slokas/36787-sankatahara-chathurthi.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/pujas-prayers-and-slokas/2940-index-puja-format.html On this day, Lord ganesha is worshipped, people fast and end their fast after seeing the moon.
Thank you Raki for reminding us about this auspicious day. May Lord Ganesha bless your home with peace and prosperity always
in Angaraka Sankasta hara chaturti, if we give toordal and jaggrey as dhanam its really good. Procedure : In a plate put some toordal and keep 2 jaggrey (Box/acchu vellam) and light ghee lamp in front of ganesha in temple and give that as dhanam.
