Chitra Purnima (Chitra Pournmi) is the day of full moon on Tamil month Chithirai. It is Celebrated as the festival that related to Madurai Meenakshi Amman Thirukkalyanam. It is also considered as the birthday of Chitragupta, the divine accountant. Lord Brahma created him through the Sun God. He is considered to be the younger brother of Yama, the God of Death, as well as his assistant. Chitragupta is believed to keep watch on Earth to record the good and bad actions of human beings.
It is also believed that when a person dies, Chitragupta immediately makes a thorough check of the list of bad and good karmas of the person. He then passes the message to Lord Yama for taking the final decision on destiny of the soul of the person.
On this day, Chitragupta turns liberal and can help to erase the sins of those who perform remedies to get rid of their karma. The following Sloka is recited on this Chitra Purnima to get rid of their bad karma. Chitra Puthira Nayanaar Story is also read on this special day.
