How the date is chosen
Krishna paksha Chaturthi at moonrise: the evening the Moon rises while Chaturthi is running, because the fast ends after seeing the Moon. If no moonrise falls in Chaturthi, the day it is at sunrise.
About Sankashti Chaturthi
Krishna paksha Chaturthi, for Lord Ganesha. The traditional fast lasts until moonrise; people offer arghya (water) to the Moon and pray to Ganesha before eating.
