The Ganadhipa Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat is observed on the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi tithi in the Hindu month of Karthik (as per the Amavasyant calendar) or the Margashirsha month (as per the Purnimant calendar). The Chaturthi Tithi for Ganadhipa Sankashti Chaturthi Begins at 08:17 pm on November 11, 2022, and will go on till 10:25 pm on November 12, 2022. Ganadhipa Sankashti Chaturthi will be celebrated on November 12, as that is the day that sunrise during Chaturthi tithi will be visible.

Devotees of Lord Ganesha often observe the Ganadhipa Sankashti Chaturthi throughout the day and only break the fast after the moonrise.
