Purnima is the full moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar. It falls once a month and is considered highly auspicious for fasting, worship, and spiritual activities.
Purnima, the full moon day, is one of the most sacred tithis in the Hindu lunar calendar. It falls on the 15th day of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) in every month. India observes at least 12 Purnimas a year, each carrying distinct religious significance. Guru Purnima (Ashadha month, July) honours teachers and gurus; Sharad Purnima (Ashwina, October) is believed to be the night when the moon is closest to Earth and moonlight carries medicinal properties; Kartik Purnima (November) coincides with Dev Deepawali in Varanasi.
In Tamil Nadu, Purnima is called Pournami and is a popular day for temple visits. In West Bengal, Kojagori Lakshmi Puja falls on Sharad Purnima. In Maharashtra, the Tripurari Purnima in Kartik month draws millions of devotees. Buddhists celebrate Buddha Purnima (Vaishakha month, May) as the birth, enlightenment, and Mahaparinirvana of Gautama Buddha - a national public holiday in India since 1956.
The exact Purnima tithi shifts each year because the lunar month is approximately 29.5 solar days. This tool calculates Purnima start and end times using precise astronomical data so you can plan fasting (Satyanarayan Katha vrat), rituals, or travel around correct tithi timings rather than relying on approximate dates.
