What is Purnima?
Purnima is the full-moon day that closes the bright fortnight, one each lunar month. Many of the year's biggest festivals and vows, Guru Purnima, Sharad Purnima, Kartik Purnima, fall on a Purnima, and satyanarayan katha is commonly performed.
The full Moon is linked to fullness of mind and emotion. Fasting, holy bathing, charity and satyanarayan puja on Purnima are considered especially meritorious.
