News India Live, Digital Desk: The first full moon of the Hindu New Year (Vikram Samvat 2083) i.e. Chaitra Purnima is being celebrated with full enthusiasm today, 2 April 2026. The special thing is that on this auspicious day, a wonderful coincidence of Hanuman Janmotsav is also taking place. According to astrology, on the full moon night the moon is full of its sixteen phases. In such a situation, tonight is considered very fruitful for removing lunar defects and pleasing Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. If you also want mental peace, better health and happiness and prosperity at home, then some special measures tonight can bring a big change in your life.
Right time and method of offering Arghya to remove Chandra Dosha According to the calculations of the Panchang, this year Chaitra Purnima Tithi has started at 07:06 am on April 1, which will end at 07:41 am on April 2. There is a tradition of special worship of Moon God on the day of full moon. In the evening when the moon rises, take pure water in a silver or copper pot. Mix some raw milk, Akshat (whole rice), white flowers and a little sugar in this water. While looking at the moon, offer Arghya to it slowly with this holy water.
Chant these powerful mantras of Moon While offering Arghya to Moon God, chant the mantra “Om Somay Namah” with full devotion. After offering Arghya, stand there and fold your hands and pray for the happiness and peace of your family. Some other miraculous mantras of Moon are also mentioned in the scriptures, chanting them tonight strengthens the position of Moon in the horoscope:
Om Shran Shreen Shran Sah Chandramse Namah
Om Kleem Som Mantraya Namah
Om Namah Shashankshekharai
Om Navagrahayutay Namah
Om Sham Sham Shamay Namah
Do special worship of the Goddess of Wealth during Nishita period. The night of Chaitra Purnima brings not only Moon God but also an inexplicable moment to get the immense blessings of Mother Lakshmi. At midnight (Nishita period), take bath, wear clean clothes and worship Goddess Lakshmi duly. Offering kheer containing saffron to the goddess of wealth is considered very auspicious. Along with this, recite Shri Kanakdhara Stotra and perform the Aarti of Mata. It is believed that by worshiping Goddess Lakshmi with true heart on the full moon night, there is never any shortage of wealth in the house and poverty is eliminated from life.
