Guru Purnima, a sacred festival that honours teachers and spiritual guides, is being celebrated across India today. Falling on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Ashadha, the occasion is steeped in tradition and reverence.


According to the Hindu lunar calendar, the Purnima Tithi began at 1:36 AM on July 10 and will end at 2:06 AM on July 11. Moonrise is expected at 7:19 PM on July 11.

Why Is Guru Purnima Celebrated?

The day commemorates the birth of Maharishi Veda Vyasa, the sage credited with compiling the Mahabharata and other foundational texts of Hinduism. As a result, he is regarded as the Adi Guru (first teacher).

Guru Purnima is not limited to Hinduism.

  • Buddhists observe the day in memory of Lord Buddha, who delivered his first sermon at Sarnath on this date.

  • Jains mark it by paying homage to Lord Mahavira and his chief disciple Gautam Swami.

How Is Guru Purnima Celebrated?

The day is marked by prayers, rituals, satsangs, and offerings at temples, ashrams, and spiritual centres. Many devotees fast, offer flowers and sweets, and engage in discourses to express gratitude to their mentors and teachers.

While Guru Purnima is not a national holiday, it is observed with deep cultural and spiritual devotion across the country.
