Purnima (Full Moon)
Purnima, or Full Moon, is a significant phase in the lunar cycle when the moon is fully illuminated. It occurs approximately once a month, marking the midpoint of the lunar month in many calendars. This phase is often associated with various cultural and religious observances, as the bright moonlight is believed to have a positive influence on nature and human activities.
In many traditions, Purnima is celebrated with rituals, prayers, and festivals. For example, in Hinduism, it is a time for spiritual reflection and community gatherings. The full moon is also linked to agricultural practices, as its brightness can aid in nighttime farming activities.
