Auspicious Time for Ritual Bathing and Charity
Jyeshtha Purnima 2026 will be observed on June 29 this year. The Purnima *Tithi* (lunar day) remains effective from sunrise until the moon becomes visible at night; therefore, all religious activities—such as worship, fasting, ritual bathing, and acts of charity—can be performed throughout the day. Bathing in the morning—whether in a holy river, a sacred pond, or at home using water mixed with *Gangajal* (holy water from the Ganges)—is considered particularly auspicious. According to religious beliefs, donating food, clothing, water, and other useful items to the needy on this day earns spiritual merit and ensures the continued blessings of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Religious rituals performed with devotion and adherence to prescribed rules on this day are believed to bring happiness, peace, and prosperity into one's life.

Significance of Jyeshtha Purnima

In Sanatan Dharma, Jyeshtha Purnima is considered a highly auspicious and spiritually rewarding day. According to religious beliefs, worshipping Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Chandra Dev (the Moon God) on this day brings happiness, prosperity, and mental peace into one's life. Many devotees also perform the *Satyanarayan Katha* and worship on this day, which fosters well-being, good fortune, and positivity within the family. It is believed that worshipping Goddess Lakshmi and offering her favorite *bhog* (sacred food offering) at dusk paves the way for financial prosperity, while offering *Arghya* (water oblation) to the Moon calms the mind and helps alleviate mental stress.

What to do on Purnima (Full Moon Day)?

Wake up early in the morning, bathe, and take a vow of fasting.
If possible, bathe in a holy river, sacred lake, or at a pilgrimage site.

After bathing, perform a ritualistic worship of Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Shiva, and Chandra Dev (the Moon God).
Throughout the day, engage in acts of charity and religious activities to the best of your ability.
Donate food, clothing, or other useful items to the needy.
At dusk, after moonrise, offer water to the Moon.
