FAQs

Ritual worship bears fruit when grounded in purity, discipline, and mastery over speech, body, and mind.

The practice is taught within Ayodhyā Māhātmya, situating Moon-worship within Ayodhyā’s sacred framework.

Bathe with cleanliness on caturdaśī, keep brahmacarya and self-restraint, and perform/arrange candra-pūjā again on paurṇamāsī.
