Difference between Amavasya and Purnima

●  As per Hindu lunar calendar, Purnima is called full moon day while Amavasya is called no moon day or new moon day
●  When the moon is completely exposed to the sun, it is called Purnima, and when the earth completely blocks the moon from the sun, it is called Amavasya
●  As we all know that the moon revolves around the earth, and the time taken by the moon to complete one rotation around the earth is called a lunar month. During this period, New moon (Amavasya) and full moon (Purnima) occur and are separated by 14.765295 days in between
●  Evil powers and negative forces reign during Amavasya. On the contrary, positive forces and divine energy rule during Purnima. Hence, this is the reason, Purnima is considered to be highly auspicious in the Hindu tradition.
