This year, Ashadha Purnima lands on July 10, gliding in with a full moon that is more than an Instagram moment. It is a full-on cosmic cue. Purnima tithi kicks off at 1:36 am in the morning and hangs around till about 2:06 pm in the afternoon the next day. But honestly? The real magic hits before the sun even rises. That’s when the moon’s doing its thing, lighting up beads, making the whole place feel kinda sacred. Imagine someone tossing flowers during a Satyanarayana puja, little diyas flickering by the Tulsi, everything just buzzing with this weird, beautiful energy. Ashadha Purnima is not just another date on the calendar, it’s more like a spiritual upgrade.

What’s so special about Ashadha Purnima?

Ashadha Purnima is not just any full moon, it’s the repeat encore for Guru Purnima. You get a triad of blessings in one night:

Honouring the Guru: Basically, this is the day when folks go all out showing love and gratitude for their gurus. Expect lots of ‘thank you, teacher’ moments—seriously, it is big gratitude energy everywhere.

Celebrating Vyasa: Not just another full moon, this day is also Vedavyasa’s birthday.

Vedavyasa is the guy who basically invented Indian epic storytelling. He’s the mastermind behind the Mahabharata. Total legend.

Launching Kokila Vrat: The moon’s shining bright, which means it’s the start of Kokila Vrat. Especially meaningful for women wishing for a little extra peace and harmony in married life.
