Is Shravan Purnima 2025 On August 8 or 9? What To Donate For Good Fortune?
Shravan Purnima 2025: All rituals, including Raksha Bandhan and donations, will be observed on August 9, as sunrise that day falls within the Purnima tithi, marking it auspicious
The day of Shravan Purnima holds great religious significance in the Hindu religion. It marks the conclusion of Shravan, the month most beloved by Lord Shiva, and is considered highly auspicious for festivals, fasting, ritual bathing, and making donations. The festival of Raksha Bandhan, which celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, is also observed on this day.
This year, there's confusion over the exact date as Shravan Purnima appears to fall on both August 8 and 9. So, when should one celebrate? Astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt from Kashi explains the accurate tithi and rituals associated with this important day.
Shravan Purnima Date
According to the Drik Panchang, Shravan Purnima begins at 2:12 PM on Friday, August 8, and ends at 1:24 PM on Saturday, August 9. Since the tithi starts post-noon on August 8 and continues until noon the next day, many are confused about which date to consider.
Astrologer Bhatt clarifies that as per Muhurta Chintamani, the date of a festival is decided based on the sunrise. Since sunrise on August 9 falls within the Purnima tithi, that day will be considered the main observance. Therefore, this year, Shravan Purnima will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9.
Shravan Purnima is believed to cleanse one's sins and bestow spiritual merit.
Shravan Purnima is closely connected with the Moon, and donations made on this day help strengthen its placement in one's horoscope. Items associated with the Moon, such as rice, white clothes, sugar, milk, kheer, batasha, curd, white flowers, pearls, and silver, are especially recommended.
Astrologically, the Moon governs the mind. A strong Moon brings emotional strength, mental stability, better decision-making, and strong family ties. It also signifies prosperity, especially for those involved in water-related professions. Donating on this day can reduce any malefic effects of the Moon and attract peace and fortune.
