Ekadanta Sankashti Chaturthi: History, Significance and Rituals
Ekadanta Sankashti Chaturthi is a festival celebrated on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the waning moon (Krishna Paksha) in the Hindu calendar month of Magha (January–February). This festival is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity who is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and the patron of knowledge, wisdom and good luck.
The name ‘Ekadanta’ means ‘single-toothed’ and refers to the unique physical feature of Lord Ganesha, who is depicted with one of his broken tusks. The term ‘Sankashti’ means ‘deliverance in difficult times’, and the festival is believed to bring good luck and remove obstacles from the lives of devotees who observe it with faith and devotion.
On this day, the devotees adhere to a strict fast throughout the day and do not break it until after seeing the moon at night. They offer special prayers and perform pujas to Lord Ganesha, reciting his mantras and singing hymns in his praise. The festival is widely celebrated across India, particularly in the state of Maharashtra, where it is known as Sankashti Chaturthi, and features colorful processions, music, and community feasts.
