About this festival
Purnima is the full moon day that ends the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of every Hindu month. Purnima vrat, Satyanarayan katha and holy dips are common. Many Purnimas are festivals in their own right, such as Guru Purnima, Sharad Purnima and Kartik Purnima.
How it is observed
- Purnima vrat with Satyanarayan katha.
- Holy bath and charity in the morning.
- Offer arghya to the moon after moonrise.
Questions people ask
Why does Purnima sometimes start a day earlier?
A tithi is based on the angle between the sun and moon, not on the clock, so it can start at any time of day. Vrat is usually kept on the day the Purnima tithi prevails at moonrise.
