The full moon day in the month of 'Shravan' is celebrated with characteristic fervour in different parts of Maharashtra and is known variously as 'Narali Pournima', 'Shravani Pournima', 'Rakhi Pournima' or 'Raksha Bandhan'. 'Naral' means 'coconut', and thus called Narali Pournmia because offerings of coconuts are made by people to the Sea-God on this day. Sweet Coconut Rice is special dish of this day. Narali Pournima also marks the advent of the new fishing season and fishermen appease the Sea-God before sailing out in their gaily-decorated boats. The festival is a day of singing and dancing.

Raksha Bandhan is also observed on this day. Sisters tie 'Rakhis' or beautifully decorated threads on their brothers' wrists. The ritual renews the bond of affection between siblings and signifies the brother's responsibility of protecting his sister all her life.
