What is Purnima?
Poornima, also known as the Full Moon Day, is one of the most sacred days in the Hindu lunar calendar. It marks the time when the Moon is at its fullest brilliance, symbolizing completeness, prosperity, and spiritual illumination.
Each month, Purnima holds special religious importance and is often associated with the worship of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Lakshmi. Many devotees observe fasts, visit temples, perform rituals, chant mantras, and offer charity (daan) on this day to attain divine blessings and inner peace.
Famous Purnimas include Guru Purnima, Kartik Purnima, Sharad Purnima, and Buddha Purnima, each with its unique spiritual significance and traditions.
