Sankatahara Chaturthi is performed for Lord Ganesha. This fasting is considered as auspicious and beneficial. This viratham is observed for one year period on all the Sankatahara Chaturthi days and will end it by performing a Ganapathy Homan. It is highly believed that all the obstacles will be removed from life for one who performs this pooja. Believe Lord Ganesha and pray wholeheartedly to get blessed with what you desire in life.
