Chitra Pournami is celebrated when the full moon is in the Tamil month of “chithirai”. It is an extremely powerful full moon day.

This full moon is a powerful time to get rid of the sins we have accumulated. Lord Chitra Gupta helps Lord Yama by keeping an account of all our good and bad karmas which is known as the “Akashic Records”. It is based on his tracking, we are given a final judgment. So this day is extremely auspicious to seek forgiveness to the divine and get HIS blessings.

It is an amazing time to seek forgiveness. If you have hurt people around you, this is a great opportunity to apologize and move on.
