Jyeshtha Purnima 2026 Date: Jyeshtha Purnima falls on the full moon day (Purnima Tithi) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the Jyeshtha month. Observing a fast, taking a holy bath, and performing acts of charity on this day are believed to cleanse sins and earn spiritual merit. Sometimes, the fast, the holy bath, and the charity all take place on the same day; at other times, the fast is observed on one day, while the bath and charity occur the following day. This variation arises due to the timing of moonrise. On Jyeshtha Purnima, devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Satyanarayana; during the *Pradosh Kaal* (evening twilight period), they worship Goddess Lakshmi and the Moon, offering *Arghya* (ritual water offering).
