Significance of Angarkhi Chaturthi
Angarki Chaturthi is considered to be an auspicious day for all Hindus that is observed on Sankashti Chaturthi that falls on a Tuesday. Most Hindus fast to offer prayers to lord Ganesha. This vrat is dedicated to God Ganesha and is also known as ‘Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi’. As per Hindu calender Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi falls on the ‘chaturthi’ which is the 4th day after purnima (full moon day) during the ‘Krishna Paksha’ (dark fortnight of moon) of every lunar month in the Hindu calendar. This day is popularly celebrated mostly in Maharashtra, where special arrangements are made at all Ganesha temples where large number of devotees throng to offer prayers.
