Bhadrapada Purnima is an important festival in the Hindu calendar. Which is celebrated on the last day of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. This day is considered very important from religious, cultural and spiritual points of view.

It will start on Sunday, September 7th, 2025, at 01:41 am. It will end on the same day at 11:38 pm. Udayatithi is recognized in Hinduism, so its shubh muhurat will start on Sunday, September 7th, 2025.
Pitru Paksha commences on Bhadrapada Purnima. This is a significant Hindu period dedicated to paying homage to ancestors. Rituals like Tarpan, Pind Daan, and Shraddha are performed on this day to appease the departed souls. It is believed that these rituals ensure the blessings of ancestors and bring prosperity to the family. Donating during Pitru Paksha is believed to free one from Pitru Dosha (ancestral curses) and bring happiness and prosperity.
This Purnima, celebrated on the Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month, is dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Keeping a fast on this day and donating to the poor and needy people brings peace of mind, destruction of sins and happiness and prosperity. Pitru Paksha also begins with the Bhadrapada Purnima. Therefore, bathing and donating on this day have special importance. It is believed that bathing in the Ganges or other holy rivers on the day of Purnima washes away all the sins of the devotee, and he gets virtuous fruits.
In the Sanatan tradition, giving donations is considered an integral part of worship and prayer. The tradition of giving donations has been going on since time immemorial. Therefore, donations have been included in the essential aspects of human life in religious texts and scriptures. If we look at the mythological texts, the importance of donations is mentioned in detail in the verses of various texts of Hinduism.
But donations are glorified only when they are given selflessly to a person who needs them the most. If donations are given in the desire to get something, then they are not able to leave their full effect, and the seeker does not get their full merit.
The donation given by you comes back to you through many hands. The fruits of the donation made by you are received not only in this life but also after death. Therefore, on any festival or auspicious occasion, give to deserving people with full devotion and selflessness. The importance of daan has been explained in detail by Lord Vishnu in Garuda Purana.
Mentioning the importance of charity, it has been said in the mythological textsโ

Just like a small seed of a Banyan tree planted on the ground grows with the addition of water, the tree of virtue also grows with charity.
