Sharad Purnima, also known as Kumara Purnima, Kojagari Purnima, Navanna Purnima, Kojagrat Purnima, or Kaumudi Purnima, is a festival of faith that marks the end of the monsoon season and is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin (September to October). Sharad Purnima is believed to be the sole day of the year on which the moon is considered to be closest to Earth. As a result, it is thought that the moon's brilliance on Sharad Purnima is stronger and has greater significance. It is also believed that the moon's rays have healing qualities and nurture the body and soul. This makes it the perfect day for bathing in sacred rivers, as it is said that doing so purifies the soul and wards off evil.
On this day, Chandra, the moon god, is worshipped alongside other Hindu holy couples like Radha Krishna, Shiva Parvati, and Lakshmi Narayana, who are also given flowers and the delicious dish kheer (made of rice and milk). In temples, deities are frequently clad in white to symbolise the brightness of the moon. On this night, many people practice a complete day of fasting.
