On the day of Kojagari Puja, the devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi at midnight or during the Nishith period and believe that the Goddess will bestow them with blessings. As per mythological stories, on the night of Sharad Purnima, the moon is full of its sixteen Kala and on the night of Kolhagari Purnima, Goddess Lakshmi takes around the Earth's orbit and relieves her devotees of their obstacles and pain.
Along with the Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Shiva is also worshipped on this auspicious day of Sharad Purnima. On this day, the unmarried girls observe a fast or vrat and worship Lord Vishnu to get a suitable groom. Not many know that Sharad Purnima is also known as Raas Purnima in the Brij region. Devotees believe that Lord Krishna performed Maha-Raas or the dance of divine love on this day.
