Home » Other Shravana Purnima Festivals » Nariyal Purnima

People of coastal areas perform a very significant puja on the Nariyal Purnima day. They are the ones who entirely depend on sea and its content for their livelihood. Hence, Nariyal Purnima worship is vital for them. God Varuna or Sea God is worshipped greatly on this day. He is satisfied and made happy by throwing innumerable coconuts in sea on this day. Also known as ‘coconut full moon day’, this day falls on the same day when Raksha Bandhan purnima is celebrated all over the nation.



Coconut is the vital element of this puja. It is generally believed that only coconut has three eyes that remind us of Lord Shiva. Indeed, coconut represents Lord Shiva who is feared by human beings for his three eyes. Hence, people believe that coconut would be loved by him and hence, this fruit is chosen as a special offering for Nariyal purnima religious festival.

Before commencing any puja or before venturing into any kind of business, a coconut is broken and offered to all Hindu gods and goddesses. And after the task is successfully completed, a coconut is offered again to thank God for His benevolence. In fact, pieces of coconut as well as whole coconuts are distributed as 'prasad'. The delectable recipe for this day is the coconut rice, which is really yummy and relished by all.
