Drik Panchang prints one evening time beside each date but does not label it moonrise, so it is left out here. Check moonrise for your own city before breaking the fast. Dhaka times are from Drik's Dhaka page.
What is Sankashti Chaturthi
Sankashti Chaturthi is a monthly Ganesha vrat on the fourth day of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha). Devotees fast through the day and break the fast at night after seeing the moon and praying to Ganesha. When it falls on a Tuesday it is called Angaraki Sankashti and is considered especially sacred. (Source: Wikipedia, Sankashti Chaturthi)
Only one falls on a Tuesday in 2027: 22 June, Krishnapingala Sankashti, so an Angaraki Sankashti. If the tithi spans two days, check your panjika for the vrat day. (Source: Drik Panchang, 2027 Sankashti Chaturthi dates for Kolkata)
If you go by a printed panjika (Bishuddha Siddhanta or Gupta Press), check it: some days may differ.
