Purnima dates 2026–27: full moon vrat list
Choose your city. Every date is worked out from your city's own sunrise and sunset, so abroad it can differ from India by a day. Add any vrat to your calendar in one tap.
The main (Smarta) day is shown, the one most households keep. Vaishnava and ISKCON calendars sometimes fast a day later; your temple's or sampradaya's calendar comes first.
The Ekadashi fast
Ekadashi, the eleventh lunar day of each fortnight, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The fast is kept on the day Ekadashi is running at sunrise and broken the next day, during Dwadashi. Parana is never done during Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) or at midday; the parana times above follow these rules.
Pradosh Vrat
Pradosh kaal is the twilight on Trayodashi, the thirteenth lunar day, when Lord Shiva is worshipped. The fast is kept on the day whose Pradosh kaal (from sunset through the first fifth of the night) holds more of Trayodashi. On a Monday it is Som Pradosh, on a Tuesday Bhaum Pradosh and on a Saturday Shani Pradosh.
Purnima vrat
The Purnima fast is kept on the first day with Purnima at midday; sometimes the holy bath and charity (snan-daan) fall on the next day. Satyanarayan puja, charity and a holy bath are traditional.
What people often ask
Why is the Purnima fast sometimes not on the full moon date?
The Purnima vrat is kept on the first day that has the Purnima tithi at midday, and the holy bath and charity, snan-daan, sometimes fall on the next morning. Because a tithi can start or end at any hour, the fasting day and the astronomical full moon can fall on different calendar dates.
Why is the date different abroad?
A lunar day changes at the same instant everywhere, but the vrat day is set by your own city's sunrise or sunset. So in New York or Toronto the fast is often a day earlier, and in Sydney sometimes a day later. Don't convert India's time to your time zone; choose your city above.
What are the other names for Purnima?
Purnima is the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month. It is also called Poonam or Punam, Pournami or Pournima in the south and west, Hunnime in Kannada and Puranmashi in Punjabi. Each month's Purnima takes that month's name, such as Kartik Purnima in November or Margashirsha Purnima in December.
Are these dates reliable?
