i Why this?

Sankashti Chaturthi, the fourth day of the waning Moon, is dedicated to Ganesha as the one who eases difficulties. The observance traditionally ends with a glimpse of the rising Moon. It is a monthly chance to begin again with a clear path.

Skip fasting if you are pregnant, diabetic, unwell or on medication. A light sattvic meal is a complete observance too.

Parihara are simple traditional practices for reflection and steadiness. They are not predictions, and not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice. Nothing here needs to be bought.
