Sakat Chauth is dedicated to Goddess Sakat and women observe fasting on the this day of Sakat Chauth for well-being of their sons.
There are two Chaturthi dates every month. Chaturthi tithi that comes during Shukla Paksha is known as Vinayaki Chaturthi, and the other Chaturthi tithi that comes during Krishna Paksha is known as Sankashti Chaturthi.

Thus women observe this fast for the prosperity, longevity, well being and happy life of their sons and husband's problems also goes away. Women who keep the Sakat Chauth fast throughout the day perform Lord Ganesha Puja with Vidhi Vidhan and offer Sesame ladoos to Lord Ganesha as it is believed that Ganesha loves laddoos.
