The 'Purnima' (full moon) observance in month of Bhadrapada in the traditional Hindu calendar is distinguished as Bhadrapada Purnima. On this auspicious day Hindu devotees worship Lord Satyanarayan who is an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Bhadrapada is the second of the four holy months of Chaturmas. According to the beliefs, during these four months, Lord Vishnu leaves the Kshir Sagar and resides in Hades with King Bali. Chaturmas is a time to adopt restraint and discipline in lifestyle from a religious and practical point of view.
