Purnima
Purnima, the full moon, closes the bright fortnight. Many festivals fall on it: Guru Purnima, Raksha Bandhan, Sharad Purnima, Kartik Purnima and Holi. Satyanarayan puja and fasting are common.
Amavasya
Amavasya, the new moon, is dedicated to ancestors. Tarpan and shraddh are performed, and Diwali (Kartika Amavasya) and Mauni Amavasya are major observances. New ventures are traditionally avoided.
