VAT Purnima 2025: In Hinduism, the special significance of the full moon date of Jyeshtha month has been told. This day associated with fasting, worship and special rituals is celebrated as Vat Purnima. While women worship the Vat tree to wish their husband’s long life, many devotees also try to get salvation by offering and pindadan to their ancestors on this day.

Although Pitru Paksha has been specially determined for Shraddha deeds, the day of Vat Purnima is considered extremely auspicious for the ancestors to do religious work for the ancestors. It is believed that on this day, reverence and methodical tarpan and pindadan not only get freedom from Pitra debt, but the soul of the ancestors also gets peace and salvation.

When is auspicious time?

According to the Vedic almanac, the full moon date of Jyeshtha month starts from 11:35 am on 10 June and it will end on June 11 at 1:30 pm. In such a situation, the best time to do fasting and deeds for fathers is being considered on 10 June.

Why do Tarpan and Pindadan on Vat Purnima?

According to the scriptures, Tarpan and Pindadan performed with reverence brings peace to the soul of the ancestors. They attain salvation in the next world and bless their descendants of happiness, prosperity, health and prosperity. This karma is also considered a strong remedy for freedom from Pitra Dosha.
