- Snan and daan: a holy dip (or bath with a little Ganga water at home) and charity of grain, water pots or clothes.

- Fast from sunrise; take fruit and milk if needed.
- Do Satyanarayan or Vishnu puja in the evening.
- Offer arghya (water) to the Moon after moonrise and then break the fast.
Astrological note
The full Moon is bright and strong, so Purnima is used for Moon remedies — Chandra mantra Om Som Somaya Namah, white charity and prayers for peace of mind. Tuesday’s Purnima in 2027 also suits Hanuman worship for Mars and Saturn troubles.
