🌼 Ekadashi

---

Fasting (Vrat): Devotees observe a partial or full-day fast, breaking it only after sighting the Moon and offering prayers.

Ganesha Puja: Special pujas are performed in the evening with flowers, durva grass, modaks (sweet dumplings), and chants like the Sankashtnashana Ganapati Stotra.
Moon Sighting: The fast is broken after seeing the Moon and offering it water (Arghya), along with Ganesha mantra chanting.
Reading Sankashti Vrata Katha (the story of the day) is considered highly beneficial.

 Sankashti Chaturthi is a monthly opportunity to pause, reflect, and reset with the divine blessings of Vighnaharta Ganesha. Observing it with devotion invites grace, guidance, and grounding in our everyday lives.
