Purnima or Poornima is an auspicious day in Hinduism. Poornima is the full moon day and many important rituals and festivals takes place on full moon day. In South India, the day is known as Pournami. Upvaas (Fasting) is observed on this day by some people.
The Purnima Fasting begins at Sunrise and ends after sighting the Moon. Most people only take food after seeing the moon or after evening prayers.
In some places in South India, the Pournami Vratam is dedicated to Devi, Mother Goddess.
Special pujas are performed in temples on Poornima day including the Pournami Pooja.
Satyanarayana or Satya Narayana Puja is another important Pooja performed on the Purnima day.

I spoke to a swami ji,He told me that we can have fruit,milk and water .cereals and sodium (I mean Anaaj and Namak ) are to be avoided in this upvaas
Thank you for posting added information.This is very useful information for me. We should add more information about this upvaas that what is the fruit of this upvaas and how many upvaaas we should have in order to get the fruit.
Can you tell e how does one calculate the time for the Purnima fast if based in west coast usa?
Should we follow India time or follow the local time??
You can easily find the full moon day in your region. There are numerous calendars and panchang that calculate us time. Or you can make us of Full moon calculators - like this one here http://www.atlantisring.com/moonphase.htm
There is no harm in following the Indian time for observing vrat.
I am not agree to the idea of following indian time .We should follow our local time to obsearve this fast.
If Someone needs to controll his/her mood he must do poornima and amawashya vrat. Its helps in controlling ups and down of the mood(bi - polar disorder). Observe if you are disturbed without any reason on days near poornima or amwashya. In That case this vrat will help you a lot. Bad effects of moon on your chart will be corrected. Sweetbird19atgmail
I have been observing the Purnima vrat since last few years. I would like to tell people through this post that the vrat has been a great part of my life. It has given me inner peace, trust and believe in God and even in myself. It has also helped me in my hard times and is very fruitful.
Hi could you please tell me is this vrat fullfilled the desire of child.As i am trying for child from last 4yrs?
Hi,
I don't claim that it fulfills the desire for a child but the katha actually says that it does, I know a friend, who did it and was blessed with a child. Follow the instructions for observing it, do the katha.I personally believe and was also told by a learned man that in order to fulfil your wish you need to keep atleast 5 purnima vrats in a row(ie, for 5 months)It works for me,hope it works for you too. I wish it fulfills your dream soon. Good luck
