Sharad Purnima 2023: Tradition Of Keeping Kheer In Moonlight Explained

The ingredients used in kheer are associated with the moon, and it is believed that offering this sweet dish can rectify astrological defects.

Consuming kheer, placed under moonlight, on this day, is believed to attract the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

Sharad Purnima, a day marked by the moon’s brilliant radiance, is being celebrated on Saturday. On Sharad Purnima, devotees partake in kheer, a sweet rice pudding infused with the moon’s gentle light, with the belief that it ushers in blessings from Goddess Lakshmi. Astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava from Tirupati shares insights on the auspicious timing for savouring this cherished treat.

Reports indicate that the lunar eclipse is set to occur from 1:06 AM to 2:22 AM today, and the sutak period begins at 2:52 PM. It is advised that the kheer should be placed under the moonlight after the lunar eclipse concludes. In astrology, the date of the eclipse is calculated from one sunrise to the next. Thus, the significance of the lunar eclipse began with today’s sunrise and will extend until the sun rises again tomorrow.

Once the eclipse has passed, you should prepare the kheer using essential ingredients like rice, milk, and sugar, ensuring it is exposed to the moonlight. You can then enjoy the kheer immediately or reserve it for consumption in the morning.
