Why Purnima matters

Purnima is the fifteenth tithi of Shukla paksha, the day of the full moon. Many families keep a Purnima vrat, perform Satyanarayan Puja, take a holy dip in a river, or give charity. In the purnimanta calendar used across North India, each Purnima also marks the end of the Hindu month it is named after.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there sometimes 13 Purnimas in a year?

In a year with an Adhik (extra) month there is an extra full moon. It is named after that month, for example Adhika Jyeshtha Purnima.

Is the Purnima vrat kept on the full moon day?

Usually, but the vrat follows the day the Purnima tithi is present at moonrise, which can be the day before the astronomical full moon. Check your local panchang.
