Sakat Chauth, also known as Sankashti Chaturthi, is being observed on January 6, 2026. This Hindu festival, dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Sakat, is marked by devotees fasting for the well-being, health, and prosperity of their children, particularly sons. The fast is traditionally broken after sighting the moon and offering prayers. The day is significant as it's considered the first Chaturthi of the year and commemorates Ganesha's superiority.
