Chitra Pournami 2020
Even though the full moon or the Pournami happens once a month or sometimes twice a month, it is the full moon or Pournami, which falls on the month of Chaitra or Chithirai that is of considerable significance. It is said that taking part in Girivalam, visiting temples and other holy places and performing aradhanai during Chitra pournami, brings diving blessings to the family. It is on Chitra Pournami that Chitra guptan, the accountant of Lord Yama, got married. Doing holy deeds on the day of Chitra Pournami is a way of telling him, to consider the small good things that we do on this day as large and the larger sins that we commit as smaller in his account. It is believed that a sea bath on the day of Chitra Pournami, where the tithi of pournami blends with the nakshatram Chitra, is capable of washing away some of our sins, as the great souls that lived before us, are present there to take away some of our sins away.source:www.epanchang.com
