The way Lord Vishnu’s 'Ekadashi' and Lord Shivshankar’s 'Shivratri' are observed, Shri Ganesha’s 'Chaturthi' is also observed by his devotees. Ganpati 'Atharvashirsha' describes this Chaturthi as ‘Chaturthyamanshnan Japati’. Chaturthi means fourth stage. Ganpati is beyond three stages of human body that is awakened stage, dreaming stage and a middle stage between these two stages. When one is in his fourth stage that is turia, one can have his 'darshan'.

Sankasthi Chaturthi
This vow is taken by devotees on fourth day of second fortnight of every month. On this day devotees fast for whole day and break their fast after having darshan of moon and worshipping Lord Ganesh. This vow is observed strictly by devotees to get rid of problems in their life. On this day in the evening first of all bath is taken and Lord Ganesh is worshipped, offered 21 'Durvas', perform 'Aarti', show 'Naivedyam' and prayed for fulfilling the desires. Then moon is viewed, devotee offers his 'Naivedyam', gives meal to 'Brahmin' and breaks his fast. If vow is observed in this way, all your desires are fulfilled
