Happy Narali Purnima Wishes 2025: Narali Purnima is a traditional Hindu festival mainly celebrated in Maharashtra, Goa, and the Konkan coast, especially by fishing communities. It falls on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Shravan, usually in August, and often coincides with Raksha Bandhan, making it a double celebration for many.
“Narali” means coconut, and “Purnima” means full moon. On this day, people worship Lord Varun, the sea god, by offering coconuts and praying for protection and prosperity. The festival is also observed by Brahmins, who perform sacred rituals and change their holy threads (Janeyu).
In other regions, this day is celebrated under different names:
- Avani Avittam in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
