Why Sharad Purnima matters
Sharad Purnima, the full moon of Ashwin, closes the monsoon and is also called Kojagari or Kaumudi Purnima. By tradition the moon is at its brightest and fullest of the year that night; families keep kheer under the moonlight and many observe a night-long Lakshmi vigil (Kojagari — "who is awake?").
How the date is fixed
Sharad Purnima is the Purnima of the lunar month Ashwina. A lunar month is shorter than a solar one, so the Gregorian date moves every year. The observance day follows which tithi is running at sunrise, which is why regional panchangs can differ by a day.
