About Purnima
Purnima is the full-moon day that closes the bright fortnight of every lunar month. Full moons carry the calendar's most famous observances — Guru Purnima for teachers, Buddha Purnima, Raksha Bandhan and Kartik Purnima among them — and Satyanarayan puja is traditionally performed on this evening. Fasting from sunrise to moonrise is the common discipline.
