Sharad Purnima is the full moon of Ashwin month — considered the most luminous moon of the year. In Gujarat and across India, devotees stay awake all night, make kheer and leave it under moonlight, and worship Goddess Lakshmi. Tradition says the moon on this night showers amrit (divine nectar) on the earth.

Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namaha — I bow to Great Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of wealth and auspiciousness
✦ Special Note
In Gujarat, this night is also called Kojagari Purnima — 'who is awake?' — as Goddess Lakshmi is said to descend and bless those who stay awake in devotion. Keep the kheer in a clean, open vessel under the sky overnight. In the morning, consume it as prasad. Families gather on terraces and sing devotional songs through the night.
