Sankashti Chaturthi, a revered Hindu festival, is celebrated with immense devotion and fervour across India. Falling on the fourth day after the full moon each month, this auspicious day holds a special place in the hearts of Lord Ganesha's devotees. It's a time when believers invoke the blessings of Bappa to remove obstacles, bestow success, and bring prosperity into their lives. Devotees visit Ganesha temples, recite hymns, and perform special rituals to seek the deity's blessings. Modak, a sweet dumpling believed to be Lord Ganesha's favourite, is offered as a sacred prasad (offering) during the puja.
