What distinguishes Purnima Vrat?
This spring full-moon page is a recurring Vishnu and Satyanarayan observance, not a replacement for every annual celebration near the same date. In some calendars the spring Purnima season also includes Hanuman-related worship, which should be read through its separately named entry. Keep the deity and purpose recorded here visible when comparing those events. A simple household devotional reading and an appropriate permitted meal can be planned independently of the larger festival schedule.
Deity and devotional focus
Lord Vishnu / Satyanarayan
