The festival is also linked to health and prosperity. In some regions, it is customary to prepare kheer (a sweet dish made of milk and rice) and leave it under the moonlight. It is believed that the moonlight on Sharad Purnima has medicinal properties that enhance the nutritional value of the food, and consuming it the next morning brings good health and vitality. Sharad Purnima is also celebrated as a harvest festival in many agricultural communities, where the bountiful harvest is offered to deities in gratitude. Families gather for communal prayers, singing, and feasting, celebrating the abundance of nature and the prosperity it brings. The festival reflects a harmonious blend of devotion, love, health, and harvest traditions. Wishing everyone Happy Sharad Purnima 2024!
