What is Vinayaka Chaturthi Vrat?
As per Hindu Panchang, two Chaturthis fall in one month. Chaturthi falling after Amavasya during Shukla Paksha is known as Vinayaka Chaturthi while Chaturthi falling after Purnima during Krishna Paksha is known as Sankashti Chaturthi.
Although the fast of Vinayaka Chaturthi is observed every month, the most important one falls during Bhadrapada month. Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated by the Hindus across the nation as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Vinayaka Chaturthi is also known by the name of Varada Chaturthi at certain places.
It is believed that one who worships with good intention and pure heart and observes fast, is blessed with knowledge and patience.
