1

Morning Resolve (Sankalp)

Wake up early (Brahma Muhurta), take a bath, and pledge before Lord Ganesha to observe the fast with purity.

2

Fasting (Upvaas)

Abstain from grains and heavy meals. Fruits, milk, and sabudana khichdi are permitted for those who cannot do a complete fast.

3

Evening Puja & Moon Sight

In the evening, perform the Ganesha Puja. Read the Vrat Katha. Offer water (Arghya) to the rising moon to break the fast.

Sankashti moonrise times by city

The fast is broken after moonrise, so the time that matters is the one for your own city — not your country or timezone. Houston's moonrise runs up to 72 minutes later than Chicago's despite sharing a timezone.
