Mumbai: Lakhs of devotees visited the Shridhar Siddhivinayak temple in Prabhadevi on Angaraki Sankashti Chaturthi on Tuesday.
Sankashti Chaturthi is observed on the fourth day after the full moon in the Krishna or dark fortnight of the Hindu months. Sankashti means the end of obstacles, and the day is dedicated to Lord Ganesha who is also called Vighnaharta or the remover of obstacles.

Angaraki Sankashti Chaturthi occurs when the day falls on Angaraka, or Tuesday. Therefore, Lord Ganesha devotees consider Angaraki Sankashti Chaturthi as more auspicious than regular Sankashti Chaturthi due to the combination of the Chaturthi Angaraka day, which is associated with Lord Ganesha's birth story.
