What is Purnima?
The Hindu festival of Purnima is observed on the full moon day of the Phalguna month. In India, it is a season of joy and celebration that is observed in a variety of ways. The adoration of Goddess Lakshmi and the lighting of lamps are two of the most well-liked ways to observe this event. Both of these pursuits are viewed as emblems of prosperity and hope, and those who engage in them are said to be blessed. People can express their devotion to the gods and bring joy into their lives by engaging in these activities.
Adoration of the goddess Lakshmi
The celebrations around Purnima include a significant amount of Lakshmi worship. Lakshmi is worshipped on Purnima because Hindus think she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity and that doing so will bring luck and fortune into their lives. People frequently decorate their homes with Lakshmi pictures on this day and make prayers and offerings to her. Additionally, they might carry out ritualistic actions like presenting flowers or singing mantras.
Pujas are another well-liked method of honoring Lakshmi during Purnima. This entails burning a candle in the goddess’ honor after offering her prayers, flowers, and food. The lamp is viewed as a representation of prosperity and hope, and it is said to bring luck to people who light it.
The lighting of Lamps in Purnima
An additional common practice for celebrating Purnima is lamp illumination. On this day, many individuals will light candles in their homes and in public locations like parks and temples. The lamps are viewed as a sign of prosperity and hope, and those who light them are said to be blessed.
The lamps are often fashioned of metal or clay and filled with ghee or oil. They are lit using wicks, and it is thought that the flame dispels the shadows. When lighting the lamps, people frequently decorate them with vibrant patterns and may also make prayers and offerings to the gods.
