Sahasra Purna Chandrodayam (or Sahasra Chandra Darshan) is the celebration of a person's 1000th full moon during his or her life as a special occasion. The time between similar lunar phases, the synodic month, is on average 29.53 days, and thus 1000 moons equals 29530 days = 80.849 years = approximately 80 years, 10 months on the Western calendar. In practice the celebration traditionally is held 3 full moons before a person's 81st Birthday. This ritual is also known as Sahasra Chandra Darshan (सहस्र-(पूर्ण)चन्द्र-दर्शन) or Chandra Ratharoha.

The first Janku known as Bhim Ratharohan is performed when a person is 77 years, 7 months and 7 days old.
The second is Chandra Ratharohan performed at 82 years, 4 months and 4 days. Dev Ratharohan is the third Janko at 88 years, 8 months and 8 days. Divya Ratharohan at 99 years, 9 months and 9 days and the last one when a person reaches 105 years, 8 months and 8 days.
