We are delighted to share insights of different festivals and celebrations of Hindu culture. Purnima is one of them. It is the full moon day of every month specifically dedicated to Lord Moon (Chandradev), Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu.
What is Purnima?
Purnima is a Hindi term refers to the full moon. It divides a month into two halves known as Paksha in Hindu Panchang. We have Purnima and Amawasya in a hindu Panchang defining the tithi from Pratipada till Chatrudashi and the cycle goes on.
In Hinduism, devotees regard Purnima (full moon) and Amawasya (new moon) as deeply sacred and spiritually significant. Every month, these celestial events bring unique energy, inspiring rituals and prayers. The last day of Krishna Paksha marks Amawasya, while the last day of Shukla Paksha marks Purnima.
Typically, the year includes 12 Purnima Vrats. However, when Adhik Mas (an extra lunar month) occurs, the year includes 13. Each Purnima, therefore, gives devotees a special opportunity to connect with the divine and seek spiritual growth.
