'Akhuratha Sankashti Chaturthi' is observed after Purnima or full moon during Krishna Paksha. This year, 'Akhuratha Sankashti Chaturthi' is going to be on 11th December, 2022.
On this auspicious day, Lord Ganesha is worshiped with mantras like 'Om Gan Ganapataye Namah'. To initiate Ganpati Puja, firstly, he is anointed with clean water and after that, Arghya is given to the moon in the evening followed by offerings of flowers, fruits, water, and nuts, to Lord Ganesha during aarti.
There's an interesting legend behind the day which says that once Lord Shiva & his wife, Parvati decided to play Chausar. And, Lord Shiva made a boy with his occult powers to supervise the game. The game started. The Goddess Parvati won three times in a row but the boy was declaring Lord Shiva as the winner every time. Angry by this, Goddess Parvati cursed the boy to be stuck in a swamp. After that, the boy apologized to her and pleaded for mercy. Parvati, being emotional, forgave him & told to break the curse with the help of Vish-Kanyas & observing Sankashti Ganesh Chaturthi vrat for a total of 21 days. Ultimately, the boy kept the fast and pleased Lord Ganesha who made him free from the curse.
Many people perform a fast known as 'Sankatahara Chaturthi Vrat' on this day. As Lord Ganesha is known as 'Sankatharta', that's why, this fast is also believed to eliminate all pains and sufferings from life and achieve peace and divine energy.
