Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 - Ganapati Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi has great importance in the Hindu religion. On the other hand, Ganesh Chaturthi comes on both the fortnights of every month and thus there are 24 Chaturthi dates in a month. On the other hand, in the year in which Adhikamas is taking place, 26 Chaturthi dates fall that year. And these Chaturthi dates are known as Vinayaka Chaturthi and Sankashti Chaturthi. In the Hindu calendar of India, each lunar month has two Chaturthi Tithis. The full moon during Purnimasi or Krishna Paksha is known as Sankashti Chaturthi and the new moon during Shukla Paksha is known as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Lord Ganesha is worshiped on the day of Vinayaka and Sankashti Chaturthi and after ritually worshiping him on this day, his Vrat Katha is recited. Vrat is considered strict and only fruits, roots like potatoes, etc., and vegetable products are allowed. Must be consumed.
Lord Ganesha is considered to be the remover of troubles and by his grace, the fasting person gets the boon of Riddhi-Siddhi. At the same time, the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi ji are also received. So let's know when Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi are falling in the year 2026 and what will be the day and date of worship of Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi every month.

Conclusion
Vinayaka Chaturthi fasting depends on the time of sunrise and sunset and is observed when the Chaturthi Tithi prevails during the afternoon. That's why Vinayak Chaturthi fast can be done on Tritiya Tithi i.e. one day before Chaturthi Tithi. Ganesh Puja on Vinayaka Chaturthi is performed during the afternoon which is noon as per the Hindu calendar. The Muhurt for worshiping Lord Ganesha during the afternoon is listed along with Vinayaka Chaturthi dates. Sankashti Chaturthi is also known as Ganesh Sankatahar or Sankathara Chaturthi among Hindus.
