The Purnima falling during Purushottam Maas is considered highly sacred in Hindu beliefs, and this year it will be observed on May 30 and May 31, 2026. Devotees believe that worshipping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi on this special full moon day brings prosperity, peace and financial progress. Religious texts describe this Purnima as “Sarva Siddhidayini Purnima”, a day believed to fulfil wishes and remove hardships.
Purushottam Maas, also known as Adhik Maas, comes once every three years and holds special significance in Hindu tradition. The full moon that falls during this extra lunar month is considered even more rewarding than regular Purnima days. Devotees observe fasts, perform charity and offer prayers seeking happiness and stability in life.
