Purnima's Importance in Hindu Tradition

• Purnima (or) Poornima (पूर्णिमा/पूर्णचंद्र, పూర్ణిమ/పౌర్ణమి, പൗർണമി/പൂർണ്ണചന്ദ്രൻ, பூர்ணிமா/முழு நிலவு) is a Sanskrit name that means “full moon”. Purnimanta is a traditional Hindu lunar calendar which is followed by many Hindus in India and Nepal. It is based on the phases of the moon, with each month beginning on the day of the full moon (purnima) and ending on the day of the new moon (amavasya).

• One of the unique features of the Purnimanta calendar is that it follows a lunisolar system, which means that it considers both the movements of the sun and the moon. This results in months of different lengths, with some months having 29 days and others having 30.

• Vaishakha (April-May) - named after the Hindu goddess Lakshmi
• Jyeshtha (May-June) - named after the Hindu god Indra
• Ashadha (June-July) - named after the Hindu god Shiva
• Shravana (July-August) - named after the Hindu god Vishnu

• Pausha (December-January) - named after the Hindu goddess Lakshmi
• Magha (January-February) - named after the Hindu god Indra
• Phalguna (February-March) - named after the Hindu god Shiva

In addition to the 12 months, the Purnimanta calendar also includes several special days and festivals. Some of the most important ones include:

• Diwali: a five-day festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil and is marked by the lighting of lamps and fireworks
• Holi: a spring festival that celebrates the arrival of spring and is marked by the throwing of colored powders and water
• Navaratri: a nine-day festival that celebrates the divine feminine and is marked by the worship of the Hindu goddess Durga

It's the time of day when the Moon is fully illuminated and shining brightly. Purnima occurs on the 15th tithi of the shining half of the lunar fortnight (Shukla paksh or waxing phase). The conclusion of Purnima tithi marks the beginning of the 15-day Krishna paksha (waning) phase of the Moon as well as the beginning of the following month in the Hindu lunar calendar's purnimanta system (with Pradipada tithi).
