What distinguishes Purnima Vrat?

This spring full-moon page is a recurring Vishnu and Satyanarayan observance, not a replacement for every annual celebration near the same date. In some calendars the spring Purnima season also includes Hanuman-related worship, which should be read through its separately named entry. Keep the deity and purpose recorded here visible when comparing those events. A simple household devotional reading and an appropriate permitted meal can be planned independently of the larger festival schedule.

Deity and devotional focus

Lord Vishnu / Satyanarayan

Calendar context

Civil dates are calendar references; the applicable tithi, local observance rule and community calendar determine the practice. The selected location can change the displayed day.
