Shakambhari Purnima
Shakambhari Purnima is a Hindu festival primarily observed in India, celebrating the goddess Shakambhari. It is observed in Paush month, which normally comes in January. Shakambari Purnima is the last day in the 8-day long holiday of Shakambari Navratri. "Most Navratri begins on Shukla Pratipada except for Shakambari Navratri, which begins on Ashtami and ends on Purnima in Paush month.".
Bathing is an incredibly important ritual during Purnima holidays. Devotees can regularly be seen bathing in rivers from the morning and throughout the day . Devotees pour water on themselves while facing the sun as they carry on with other religious practices.
