Coimbatore

Thaipusam, which takes place on the first full moon after the winter solstice, is traditionally seen as a day of auspiciousness and grace, which a person can make use of for their wellbeing. This day is also known as “Dhanya Purnima”, which means a full moon of fulfillment. It is a day when many siddhas, seers and Yogis chose to leave their body and attain to their ultimate nature.

“This is a day and time of receptivity, Grace, enlightenment, and ultimate liberation. May you be inspired for the highest.” –Sadhguru
