The Special Significance of Sharad Purnima
According to religious scriptures, nectar rains from the moon's rays on the night of Sharad Purnima. Therefore, keeping kheer in the moonlight and consuming it on this day is considered to be of special significance.

It is believed that the moon's rays infuse the kheer with nectar.
Consuming this nectar-like kheer relieves all physical suffering and bestows the qualities of nectar.
Bathing in a holy river and donating to the needy on this day also brings merit and destroys all sins.
