Guru Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Ashadha.

Guru Purnima is a Hindu festival that celebrates teachers and mentors. It’s held on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Ashadha, which falls in June or July. Guru Purnima is an ancient celebration, although it has no fixed date and is observed by Hindus all over India and around the world. The festival was traditionally observed by students, who would honor their teachers and pay tribute to them by presenting them with gifts. However, it’s now celebrated by everyone who has had a positive influence on their life.

Guru Purnima 2018 falls on July 11th this year, but celebrations are likely to begin before then as many Hindus believe that Guru Purnima should be observed during its own special week. This week is known as “guruparv”, which means “the week of teachers”. It begins with new moon day in Ashadha and ends with full moon day.
