Devotees observe Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi with great devotion and enthusiasm. They fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying to Lord Ganesha for his blessings and protection. The word "Sankashti" refers to the day of deliverance from troubles, and it is believed that observing this fast and worshipping Lord Ganesha on this day can fulfil wishes and bring prosperity. The festival typically involves special prayers and rituals conducted in homes and temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Devotees gather to chant hymns and recite prayers, offering modaks (a sweet dumpling considered Lord Ganesha's favourite) and other traditional sweets as prasad (offering).

One of the highlights of Gajanana Sankashti Chaturthi is the evening worship (puja) performed during the moonrise, known as Sankashti Chaturthi Puja.
