Mithya Kalank means false accusation for wrongdoing (such as stealing). .
It is believed that sighting moon on the auspicious day of Ganesha Chaurthi brings Mithya Kalank which means that the person who happens to see the moon on the day of Ganesh Chaurthi is falsely accused with stealing or theft. It may be considered as a myth, but the tradition or custom of not seeing moon on the day of Chaurthi continues till date.
The time of refraining from moon sight depends on the start and end of Chaurthi. These timings are defined according to the Hindu Calendar. <>
It is important to remember that even if Chaurthi ends before the moonset, moon which rose during the prevailing of Chaurthi should not be seen.
However if the Chaturthi moon is seen, then the affiliated person should listen or recite the 'Story of Syamantaka Jewel'.
