In the Indian Lunar based calendar, each month is divided into two parts. The Shukla Paksha (The White Section) and Krishna Paksha ( The Black Section). Shukla Paksha is the 15 day period from New moon to Full moon. The 15th day is called Poornima (usually considered Auspicious).The Krishna Paksha starts from the Full moon day to the New Moon day ending on Amawasya ( considered somewhat inauspicious, though the Diwali the most popular Hindu festival is celebrated on Amavasya).
Thank you, Tarun, for your generous reading and for sharing this fascinating perspective on the Indian lunar calendar. I feel honored to have you onboard, and I'm excited to read your own philosophical ruminations in Brief Notes on Life.

"Every astronaut will return to earth carrying invisible damage deep in their cells"--this was beautiful, caring, and bittersweet. Incredible writing.
Thank you, David—that means a lot.
I loved this! The interview with the astronaut is so cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Full Harvest Moon!
Thank you, Michelle. I appreciate your kind words.
So good! History and art and the moon. A beautiful piece
Happy to have you as a reader, Emily!
