During the Jyeshtha Purnima, the Earth become tremendously hot. This is why several rivers and ponds become dry, or their water level reduces.
For this reason, the importance of water requirement in this month increases 10x as compared to other months. Festivals like Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, etc., are celebrated in the month of Jyeshtha to convey how important water is for life on Earth.
The story of Savitri, a heroic woman, is associated with Jyestha Purnima. She sets the perfect example of a pure and divine marital life. As per the legends, she had demanded Lord Yama to release the life of his husband (Satyavan), who had already died.
From this day onwards, devotees leave for Amarnath Yatra with Gangaajal.
On this day, especially Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu should be worshipped.
