Why Margashirsha Purnima Is Special?

Margashirsha is mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita where Lord Krishna says, “Masanam Margashirsho’ham”, meaning He considers this month the most sacred. That is why fasting, chanting, charity and penance on this day hold immense spiritual value.

Puja Rituals and Worship

On Margashirsha Purnima, devotees worship Lord Vishnu in His Satyanarayana form. Many observe a strict fast and listen to Satyanarayana Vrat Katha. Moon worship (Chandra Darshan) is also an important ritual.
