Purnima 2026 list: every date

Times are local to Surat. The Note column says when the usual rule did not settle the day on its own — a tithi that met its deciding moment on two days, or on none — and which day this page took.

How the Purnima date is decided

Purnima is the fifteenth tithi of Shukla paksha — the full moon — and this page lists it on the day whose sunrise it touches: the day for snan-daan, the ritual bath and charity, and the day most panchangs print as the Purnima vrat. One convention differs, and it is marked rather than hidden: when Purnima has already begun by sunset on the previous day, some calendars keep the fast on that evening, when the Moon rises with Purnima in force, while the bath and charity stay on the sunrise day. The engine can tell you when that condition holds, and those rows say so; which of the two days a family fasts on is tradition rather than astronomy, so the page does not choose for you. A named Purnima that is also a festival — Guru Purnima, Sharad Purnima, Holika Dahan — is decided on its own page by that festival's rule, which is why Holika Dahan can fall on the evening before the Purnima listed here.

Purnima 2026 in other cities

The moment that decides the day — sunrise, the evening pradosh or moonrise — differs across India by well over an hour, so the day itself, not only the clock times, can differ between two cities on this list.

This table is recomputed for the city you pick. Those links are variants of this page: each carries a canonical back to the address above and asks search engines not to index it.
