Sankatahara Chaturthi is a spiritual practice that combines devotion, self-restraint, and surrender. It is believed that observing this day with sincerity helps remove obstacles be they emotional, material, or karmic. Fasting, chanting, and prayer on this day help purify the mind and strengthen one’s will.
The significance of this puja is rooted in ancient tradition. According to sacred stories, Sage Narada once advised a troubled king to worship Lord Ganesha on Chaturthi to overcome his sufferings. The king followed the puja with faith and soon found relief from his trials. Since then, this observance has become a time-tested path to spiritual upliftment.
