Sharad Purnima is also called कोजागरी, or इदली. This festival falls on Kwar Sudi Purnima. This day mothers do Vrat and Puja for health & long life of their children. Also other deities are worshiped as well, such as Lakshmi and Narayan.
Moon and Earth
This day Moon comes closer to Earth, Moonlight is supposed to be the brightest this day. This can be enjoyed with open sky and without any artificial light. Beach-side becomes too attractive when Moon shines to its highest.
Health
At night people often put Kheer (खीर) for the moon light to fall on it — and next day they take it as prasada. Some Vaidya (वैद्य) also put their medicines to be charged with Moonlight. यह भी कहा जाता है की शरद पूर्णिमा की रात में, चन्द्रमा के उजाले में, जो व्यक्ति सुई में चार छः बार धागा डाल देता है, उसकी आँखों की रौशनी अच्छी बनी रहती है।
Romance
It is said, this day at night in Moonlight, lord Krishna did Rasleela with his Gopis. So people who lack love in their life, can worship lord Krishna with Gopis.
Sharad Purnima Ki Katha
A woman used to do Vrat and Puja on Sharad Purnima, thus many years have passed. She was enjoying it and doing it with her full devotion. Once accidently she touched a dead child, as she touched the child came to life. And it was believed it was due to her Sharad Purnima Vrat.
