As the beautiful full moon lit up the sky, people wondered why the colour of the moon was not 'pink'. Well, first things first, a Pink moon is not actually pink in colour, but just has the name becuase the beautiful pink flowers 'Phlox' bloom during this time.

The Pink moon is the traditional name for the full moon that happens in April. If the full moon falls at the very end of March, it may still be referred to as the Pink Moon.

The name 'Pink Moon' is attributed to Native American tribes who named each full moon based on natural seasonal markers. There is 'blue moon', 'harvest moon', 'hunters moon' and many more.

A recent trend around the world as soon as full moon hits the sky is 'Moon watching'. People gather on their terraces, in parks, or even in balconies to look at the moon, its special appearance, and click pictures.

And as a way to mark the renewal, growth, and the new chapter of life with the full moon, people do certain rituals at night. Journalling, meditating, chanting, drinking 'energised' water, and more.
