The celestial timings indicate that the moonrise will occur at 7:16 PM on June 29, after which worship of the moon is traditionally performed before the completion of the full moon fast. Devotees are advised that the fast is concluded only after moon worship rituals are completed in the evening.
On the day of observance, sacred bathing in holy rivers during the pre-dawn period is considered highly auspicious. The most favorable time for such ritual bathing falls within the early morning Brahma Muhurta, which is scheduled from 4:04 AM to 4:44 AM. Following this, additional religious practices conducted during the midday Abhijit Muhurta, from 11:56 AM to 12:51 PM, are regarded as highly beneficial for spiritual merit. Evening prayers performed during the twilight period are also significant, with the Gोधhuli period occurring between 7:22 PM and 7:46 PM.
The day holds special importance in Hindu tradition, marking a spiritually significant full moon phase that concludes one lunar month and precedes the beginning of the next lunar cycle. In several regions, married women observe a parallel fast involving the worship of the banyan tree alongside Savitri, performed for the long life and well-being of their spouses. This observance is carried out with strict fasting and devotional rituals centered on the banyan tree.
Religious texts and traditional beliefs emphasize that performing charitable acts, ritual bathing, and moon worship during this full moon period is believed to bring prosperity, peace of mind, and spiritual merit to devotees.
