Guru Purnima: A Hindu festival celebrated in India and Nepal. This popular event “Guru Purnima” is celebrated by only Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. The word Guru has come from the Sanskrit language, where the meaning of ‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means, who remove the darkness. So, the meaning of “Guru” is the person who removes the darkness. This festival always celebrates in full moon day in the month of Ashadha (which known as the month of June-July), so we call it “Guru Purnima”. This festival is a symbol of Guru-shishya tradition.
