What foods should be avoided on Kartik Poornima?

During Kartika and especially on Kartik Poornima, devotees traditionally avoid meat, liquor, honey, eggplant (brinjal), turnip, radish, and food cooked in another’s home (parānna). A diet of fruits, milk, and foods prepared without salt (Phalahar) is recommended for those observing the fast. Even if a full fast is not possible, avoiding meat and maintaining mental purity is beneficial.
