How it is observed

Milk-poha or kheer and devotional gatherings are common. Moonlight-related beliefs are traditions, not claims of proven medicinal effects.

Gujarati tradition and context

In Gujarat the observance is also called Manekthari Poonam. Temples may hold rasa and bhajan gatherings with moon viewing, while food and vigil customs vary between families.

Practical preparation

Use clean utensils for milk-poha or kheer and do not leave dairy food at an unsafe temperature for long periods. Check local timings and access arrangements before attending a temple programme.
