Krishna Chaturthi is governed by Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. This tithi is highly auspicious for seeking divine intervention to overcome impediments, performing rituals for protection, and resolving difficulties. It is generally not favored for new material beginnings. A significant observance is Sankashti Chaturthi, a monthly fast and worship dedicated to Lord Ganesha, performed to alleviate troubles and seek blessings for well-being and success.

Krishna Chaturthi, known as Sankashti Chaturthi, is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Devotees observe a strict fast until moonrise, performing Ganesh Puja and offering modak, laddus, and Durva grass. This fast is observed to overcome obstacles. It is crucial to avoid looking at the moon to prevent false accusations, as per tradition. Refrain from consuming meat, alcohol, or tamasic foods. The powerful mantra 'Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha' should be chanted repeatedly. For Dana, offering sweets like modak, green clothes, or money to poor children or Brahmins is highly auspicious, seeking blessings for removal of hurdles.
