In regional folklore, Anvadhan Shukla Purnima marks the penance of a revered sage Anvadhan who is said to have received divine boons during the Shukla Paksha full moon, making the occasion sacred for devotion. The festival is associated with offerings to deities linked to harvest and rainfall, reflecting its agrarian roots and traditional calendar. Communities observe with prayers, fasting, and ritual readings to honor the lunar cycle and the sage’s quest for divine blessings.
Offerings such as flowers, fruits, a coconut, and incense are made; worshippers may fast (full or partial) and chant or recite the festival mantras, finishing with aarti.
Regional calendars may observe it on the Purnima itself or the next day if the tithi ends late; the auspicious muhurat depends on local tithi, nakshatra and sunrise, so timings vary by region.
