Vakratunda, meaning "the one with a curved trunk," is one of the eight significant forms (Ashtavinayak) of Lord Ganesha. Worshipping this form of Ganesha on Sankashti Chaturthi is believed to bring protection and victory over obstacles in life. Each month, Sankashti Chaturthi is associated with a different incarnation of Lord Ganesha, with Vakratunda being particularly important for those seeking solutions to life’s challenges and guidance in times of uncertainty. Devotees observe a strict fast from sunrise until moonrise on Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi.

The fast is usually broken only after sighting the moon and offering prayers to Lord Ganesha. Special offerings, including modak (a sweet dumpling loved by Ganesha), fruits, and flowers, are made at temples and home altars. The Sankashti Vrat Katha (story of Ganesha’s deeds) is recited, and Ganesha mantras are chanted throughout the day, invoking his blessings for peace, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles. People also exchange festive greetings on the day, which is why we bring you a collection of Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi 2024 wishes, greetings, messages and more for the day.
