Significance of Purnima in Hinduism

Purnima is considered the most auspicious day for Satyanarayan Katha, Vishnu Puja, and charitable acts. The full moon's energy is believed to amplify the effects of prayers, meditation, and mantras. Many important Hindu festivals fall on Purnima — Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Guru Purnima, and Buddha Purnima.

Purnima Vrat: Devotees fast from sunrise to moonrise, take a holy bath, offer prayers to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, and donate food or clothing. Listening to or reciting Satyanarayan Katha on Purnima is a widespread tradition across India.
