The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Sharad Purnima is the harvest full moon of Ashwin, the night the Moon is held to shine with all sixteen kalas — its full complement — and to rain healing nectar.
Rice kheer is left out under the open moon overnight and eaten at dawn. In Braj the night is kept as the Rasa Lila, Krishna’s dance with the gopis.
