It is a day for self-reflection, gratitude, and purification of thoughts and actions. Devotees observe this sacred day to cleanse their hearts from past mistakes and seek blessings for righteousness, clarity, and peace.
On Chitra Pournami, the bright full moon symbolizes illumination, purity, and divine awareness. It is believed that offering prayers under the moonlight brings spiritual awakening and peace of mind. Devotees pray to Lord Chitragupta to forgive past actions and guide them toward a path of truth and virtue. The energy of the full moon enhances meditation and promotes harmony between body, mind, and soul.
Devotees take a holy bath early in the morning and offer prayers to Lord Chitragupta and Lord Murugan. Offerings such as rice, jaggery, fruits, and flowers are made, along with lighting of lamps and chanting of sacred mantras. Many devotees observe fasting or charity, believing that acts of goodness performed on this day bring positive karma and spiritual merit.
