The moon rises in the foreground of a temple top in Gurugram. Traditionally, the full moon in the month of April is named after certain wildflowers, called pink moss, native to eastern North America, and hence the name 'pink' refers to the pink flower that blossoms during this time and not the colour of the moon.

The pink supermoon rises over the city of Rome. "When all feels troubled on the planet, looking up invokes a sense of wonder and promise.
