Purnima’s significance
Hindus celebrate Purnima with Phalguna’s full moon. India celebrates it in several ways. This occasion is celebrated by worshipping Lakshmi and lighting lamps. These behaviors are hailed as indications of affluence and hope. By doing these things, people can honor the gods and find happiness.
Why are Lakshmi and Pournami linked?
During the Purnima festivals, widespread devotion to Lakshmi is observed. Hindus believe that by worshipping Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, on Purnima, they will invite good fortune and success into their lives. On this day, people customarily worship Lakshmi, give offerings to her, and decorate their homes with images of her. In addition, they can present her with flowers or chant mantras in accordance with tradition.
Pujas are another common method of honoring Lakshmi during Purnima. This involves burning a lamp in her honor following the prayer, food, and flower gifts to the goddess. It is thought that those who light the lamp are fortunate because it represents prosperity and hope.
Why are lamps lit on Purnima?
Lamps are lit during extra Purnima. On this day, people will light candles at home and at parks and temples. People who light the lights are considered blessed.
Metal or clay lamps filled with ghee or oil are common. When wicks are lit, the flame supposedly extinguishes shadows. When they light the lights, they sometimes decorate them and make god sacrifices.
