Purnima 2024 Dates List, Tithi Time, Details
Posted on April 18, 2024
Purnima, also known as Purnima Tithi, holds great significance in Hindu culture and traditions. It refers to the full moon day, which occurs every month according to the Hindu lunar calendar. This auspicious day is celebrated with various rituals and observances across India and among Hindus worldwide.
One of the most prominent rituals associated with Purnima is the fasting or vrat observed by devotees. Many Hindus fast on this day to seek blessings, cleanse their minds and bodies, and express devotion to their chosen deities. The fast often involves abstaining from certain foods and activities from sunrise to sunset, culminating in prayers and offerings in the evening.
Another common practice during Purnima is performing charitable acts and donating to the less fortunate. This reflects the spirit of compassion and generosity that is central to Hindu teachings. Devotees believe that acts of charity on Purnima bring blessings and positive karma.
Purnima is also a time for spiritual gatherings and satsangs (spiritual discourses) where devotees come together to chant hymns, recite scriptures, and engage in devotional activities. These gatherings foster a sense of community and unity among believers.
