Sharad Purnima 2025 Date
Every year, on the full moon of the Hindu month of Ashwin, Sharad Purnima, also known as Kojagari Purnima, takes place. It will be on October 6 in 2025.
It is said that the Moon shines the brightest on this night and that its rays have healing powers. People stay awake to observe the moon, do puja, and eat kheer as prasad, which is believed to be blessed food.
On this day, giving things away while sitting in the moonlight brings health, wealth, and peace of mind.
What to Donate on Sharad Purnima
1. Diyas
One of the best things to do on Sharad Purnima is to light diyas. You can ignite them in temples, at home, or beside a river. People think that lighting diyas makes Goddess Lakshmi pleased and gets rid of difficulties and darkness in life.
2. Grains
Donating grains brings abundance. People offer rice to Lord Chandra, the Moon God, and wheat to Lord Surya, the Sun God. It is believed that individuals who donate grains will never have difficulties with food or money.
3. Clothes
One should donate white garments to people who need them. You can give clothes to orphanages or homes for the elderly. White is a colour that speaks of purity and peace. This deed can help you get closer to positive karma.
4. Kheer
The most significant aspect of Sharad Purnima is kheer. It is left outside overnight to soak up the moon's vitality, and then it is consumed the next day. It brings good health, happiness, and the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
5. Jaggery
It is believed that donating jaggery will make family ties sweeter and more peaceful. It also helps bring in more money and good energy at home.
