Guru Purnima is celebrated every year on the full moon day in the month of Ashadha. According to Hindu customs, this day is observed to honour the spiritual gurus or teachers for guiding us.

This year Guru Purnima will be observed on Wednesday, July 13, as it will mark the full Moon Day. On this auspicious day, the Purnima Tithi is predicted to be in effect from 4:00 AM on July 13 to 12:06 AM on July 14.
In this day we express our gratitude to our gurus for their dedication and selflessness in nurturing a child. On Guru Purnima, we celebrate the special bond between students and teachers. As we know, teachers have the greatest influence on students’ lives. They not only transfer knowledge and teach co-curricular and extracurricular abilities, but they also help kids develop the morals and life skills that help them deal with the outside world.
