Sankashti Chaturthi Tithi is considered an important day to observe the moonrise. Devotees adhere to this ritual, breaking their fast only after the moonrise. There are a total of thirteen Vrats in the entire cycle of Sankashti Chaturthi, and each one of them has a unique Vrat Katha. Devotees narrate the Vrat Katha, an essential component of the fasting process. The ‘Adika’ has a special place among the Vrat Katha and can be read once every four years. After the moonrise, you can end your fast with Sattvik foods such as Makhana kheer, Sama rice khichdi and milk products.
