The first full moon of the autumn season marks the celebration of Krsna’s dancing with the gopis.
On this day the deities of Vrndavan are nicely decorated in white. Krsna lila dramas are enacted. Because the moon is very auspicious, the vrajavasis leave pots of sweet rice exposed to the full moon for the whole night, to turn the sweet rice into ambrosial amrta.
The purnima or full moon of Damodara month is the second full moon of the autumn season, and rasa lila is again celebrated.
On this day one should perform full worship of Radha and Krsna with many flowers, and place them in a rasa mandapa surrounded by the gopis.
