Everything You Need to Know About Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi 2024
The alignment of moonrise with Chaturthi tithi on July 24 adds to the day’s auspiciousness. Devotees must offer arghya to the moon on this day to complete their fast properly. Important rituals should be performed after the inauspicious Bhadra period ends and before the Panchami tithi begins on July 25.
This year’s Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi is notable for its alignment with the moonrise. The Chaturthi tithi starts at 7:30 AM and lasts until 4:39 AM on July 25. The coincidence of moonrise with this tithi provides a significant opportunity for performing essential rituals like offering arghya to the moon.
The period of Bhadra, considered inauspicious, will occur on the morning of July 24. Essential rituals, including Ganesh puja, should be completed after Bhadra ends. The Panchami tithi will begin shortly after, so all Chaturthi-related ceremonies must be finalized before then.
This careful observance ensures that the fast and rituals are performed correctly, ensuring the efficacy of the prayers and the blessings sought from Lord Ganesha.
By following the detailed timing and ritual guidelines for Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi on July 24, devotees can ensure their prayers and fasting are conducted correctly, maximizing their spiritual benefits and divine blessings.
