According to mythological beliefs, on Purnima Tithi, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, herself comes to Bhooloka (earth) to remove the sufferings of her devotees and to know their condition. On this day, there is also a special tradition of listening to the story of ‘Satyanarayan’ form of Lord Shri Hari Vishnu.
