Ishti Shukla Purnima is a regional January observance on the Shukla Paksha Purnima, rooted in local folklore rather than the major scriptures. A common legend connects it to a benevolent family deity who blesses devotees who perform prayers, fasting, and ancestral rites on the full moon night. The festival is celebrated with temple and home rituals honoring the deity and ancestors, with practices varying by community.
Devotees offer flowers, fruits, coconut and betel leaves, observe a fast (full or partial), and chant the relevant mantras, followed by arati.
Dates may vary by region because tithi and nakshatra calculations differ. Local muhurats for rituals are chosen accordingly, so the exact timing can shift by a few hours.
