Deep spiritual mystery of Vikat Sankashti Chaturthi
The mystery behind Vikat Sankashti Chaturthi is related to the ‘Vikat’ form of Lord Ganesha. According to mythology, when a demon named Kamasura troubled the gods, Lord Ganesha took a formidable form riding on a peacock and killed that demon.

Offering Durva, Shami Patra and his favorite Modak to Lord Ganesha during the puja is considered extremely fruitful.
