What is Purnima?
Purnima is the full moon tithi, the fifteenth day of the bright fortnight, sacred to Lord Vishnu and to Chandra Dev. Many households keep the Purnima vrat with the Satyanarayan katha, and take a holy bath and give dana on the snan-dana Purnima. When the tithi spans two days, the vrat is kept on the day the full tithi prevails in the evening, while snan and dana follow the sunrise day, so the two can fall a day apart. The tables mark such snan-dana days separately.
Several beloved festivals fall on a Purnima: Holika Dahan on Phalguna Purnima, Hanuman Jayanti on Chaitra Purnima, Buddha Purnima in Vaishakha, Guru Purnima in Ashadha, Raksha Bandhan on Shravana Purnima, Sharad Purnima in Ashwina, and Dev Deepawali on Kartika Purnima.

How the Purnima vrat is kept
- The fast: a day fast, often from sunrise until the moonrise or the evening puja; many keep it as a fruit and milk fast.
- Worship: Vishnu puja and the Satyanarayan katha with prasad; a deepak by the tulsi in the evening, and arghya to the risen moon.
- Snan and dana: a holy bath at dawn, and dana of food, clothing or dakshina, kept on the snan-dana day when it differs from the vrat day.
Frequently asked questions
How many Purnima are there in 2026?
There are 13 Purnima vrat days in India in 2026, including the Purnima of the Adhika (extra) month. The lunar months do not align exactly with the calendar year, so a year can hold one more or one fewer than twelve.
Why do some months show two Purnima dates?
When the Purnima tithi begins after sunrise and ends after the next sunrise, the vrat is kept on the first day, while the snan-dana Purnima falls the next day. The tables list both, with the snan-dana day marked.
Why is the Purnima date different in the USA or UK?
The tithi is a position of the moon, so it begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but that moment lands on a different local date and hour in New York or London than in Delhi. Use the city tables above for your own local dates and times.
What is done on Purnima?
A vrat with Vishnu puja and the Satyanarayan katha, a holy bath and dana, and arghya to the full moon in the evening. Kartika, Magha and Vaishakha Purnima are held especially meritorious for snan and dana.
