  • Chaitra Pournami is an multi-sect multi-community Hindu festival observed on Purnima day of Chaitra month. It is celebrated across various parts of South Asia observed on full moon day in the month of Chithirai, corresponding in the Gregorian calendar to a day in April or May. In some parts of India, The festival is dedicated to Chitragupta, a Hindu god who is believed to record humans' good and bad deeds for Yama, the Hindu god of death and the underworld. On this day, devotees ask Chitragupta to forgive their sins. On the festival day, many devotees bathe in rivers or other water bodies to symbolise their sins being washed away. This is especially popular at the river Chitra in the district of Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, India. In Kerala's capital, Thiruvananthapuram, there is an old temple of Chitra Pournami Valiya Thottam Bhagavathi at Pachalloor en-route Kovalam. Here, this festival has been celebrated for the last 200 years. The temple belongs to Melanganathil Veedu-Valiya Thottam Tharavadu of the region, which possessed almost all its people. This is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shakti or Bhagavathi. This is called Chithira Pournami in Tamil Nadu and Kerala especially across followers of Kaumaram and Shaiva Siddhanta. Devotees observe fasting, worship Lord Murugan and break fast the next morning. The idea of moonlight helping to dispel darkness to the souls is the festive's motive. So Murugan worship and festival start on this day every year. (en)
