Many people observe fast on Purnima . So, let's understand some of the important facts related to the Purnima fast that one should consider.
Those people who observe fast on Purnima 2023 should start observing this fast one day before Purnima i.e, on from Chaturdashi Tith itself. However, it completely depends on the day from which the Purnima Tithi begins. If Purnima Chaturdashi begins then it depends on whether Purnima starts from Madhyahna.
It is believed that Chaturdashi Tithi should not exceed the Madhya Kaal or Madhyahna or else it pollutes the Purnima Tithi.
Purnima Tithi is described as the full moon in North India. However, in the regions of the South, its definition is a bit different. Here Purnima is known as Purnima day and the fast observed on this day is known as Purnami Vratam. Fasting on this day is done from morning to evening. However, there may be different beliefs and rituals in different regions to be followed for the Purnima Vrat.
There is a huge significance of Tithi in astrology. Tithi is the connection between the sun and the moon. For every 12 degrees, the moon comes ahead of the sun or moves towards the sun and creates this one tithi. One Lunar month is divided into two groups of dates. One starts from Amavasya and lasts till Chaturdashi or Purnima and the other one begins from that Purnima till the next Amavasya. As the moon slowly starts moving away from the Sun, the formation of new tithi takes place.
Every 12-degree position leads to the change of Tithi. When the sun is diagonally opposite to the moon, the moon is fully visible from Earth and that phase is known as Purnima.
That means, in Amavasya, we calculate the Shukla Paksha and when the moon starts decreasing from the latter half of the Purnima, then it is calculated as Krishna Paksha.
Purnima 2023 means that night when the moon is in its full form or it is completely visible. It takes some days for the moon to get in its complete shape and every month there comes a day when the moon comes in its complete shape hence that night is known as Purnima or full moon night.
