Significance of Vibhuvana Sankashti Chaturthi 2023
“Sankashti” is a Sanskrit word that signifies “liberation from challenging times.” Vibhuvana Sankashti Chaturthi is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, who is revered as the remover of obstacles and the one who bestows his devotees with the ability to eliminate difficulties from their lives. On this day, however, one may also worship Lord Shiva, the progenitor of Lord Ganesha.
One worships the Moon at night and observes all rituals associated with the puja. It is believed that by offering Arghya to the moon, one will receive happiness, serenity, and prosperity. On this day, devotees observe a fast for both fortitude and intelligence. There are two Chaturthi Tithis according to the Hindu Calendar.
Sankashti Chaturthi is observed after the full moon (Purnima) during Krishna Paksha, while Amavasya is observed during Adhik Maas. Consequently, on this Sankashti, Vibhuvana Palaka Maha Ganpati will be venerated, and the Peetha will be known as Durva Bilva Patra Peetha.
