Wishing to erase the slate, not only mentally, but spiritually?

Chitra Pournami is that powerful day.
A holy full moon day when the divine provides us with a second chance. Let's find out what makes this day so powerful, and how you can best utilize it, both spiritually and practically.

What is Chitra Pournami?
Chitra Pournami is on the day of full moon dedicated to Chitragupta, the heavenly accountant. According to Hindu belief, Chitragupta maintains a mark sheet of each human being's good and bad actions. It is believed that on this day, we have a rare opportunity to sit back and think, make amends and wipe off the karmic slate. It is a day to forgive, recharge our soul, and seek the blessings of god.

Why Do We Celebrate Chitra Pournami
This day is not only about rituals, it's about being accountable. As per ancient scriptures, Lord Yama, the deity of death, depends on Chitragupta's minute notes to determine our destiny after death. By praying on Chitra Pournami, we symbolically accept our deeds and pray for forgiveness. It's a reminder that we are humble beings and our decisions count and the world is watching.
