✨🙏 Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi 2025 🙏✨

This year, Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi falls on 10 October 2025.
Devotees observe a strict fast, offer prayers, and worship Lord Ganesha in his Vakratunda form (curved trunk) to remove obstacles and gain blessings in life. 🔮 Astrological Significance
This Sankashti Chaturthi is dedicated to Vakratunda Ganapati, an avatar of Ganesha whose worship during the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi aligns the devotee’s energy with the lunar and divine force of removing blockages.
In 2025, the planetary configuration during this Chaturthi is favorable for Jupiter (wisdom), Moon (mind), and Mercury (intellect), increasing the potency of prayers and mantras.
Observances done during the moonrise / proper muhurta help to neutralize doshas, amplify spiritual energy, and ensure that the blessings of Ganesha flow more freely.
