Jyeshtha Purnima Vrat 2025 Date: Muhurat Time, Significance, Puja Vidhi, Udyapan, and Fasting Rules

The Purnima Vrat, observed on the full moon (Purnima Tithi) of the Shukla Paksha every month, holds deep spiritual value in Hinduism. This year it will be celebrated on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. This sacred fast is particularly significant during the month of Jyeshtha, when devotees seek divine blessings for happiness, prosperity, and purity of the mind. On this day, Lord Vishnu, Lord Chandra (Moon God), and Lord Shiva are worshipped, and following traditional rituals is said to bring spiritual merit, cleanse sins, and ensure family welfare.

Jyeshtha Purnima Vrat 2025 Date and Time

The Bhavishya Purana mentions the Dvatrimshi Purnima Vrat, which begins on the full moon of Margashirsha, Magha, or Vaishakha and concludes on the Purnima of Bhadrapada or Pausha. Observing this 32-month fast is believed to bless the devotee with good fortune, children, and mental peace. Jyeshtha Purnima is also considered highly auspicious for the worship of Lord Chandra, who appears in His complete form on this day. Fasting and performing rituals today purifies the soul and strengthens one's connection with the divine.
