Purnima 2027 Dates: Full Moon Vrat List with Timings

Facts checked November 2026.

Purnima is the full moon day, and many families keep a fast or a Satyanarayana katha on it every month. This page lists all 12 Purnimas of 2027 with the start and end of the tithi and the vrat day. Every date and time comes from one source, Drik Panchang, set to New Delhi.

Purnima 2027 list: when is each full moon?

The table gives the Purnima date, the day Drik marks for the Purnima vrat, and the start and end of the Purnima tithi. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar, as Drik shows them for New Delhi. Purnima carries the same month name in Amanta regions too, so the names here work across India.

All times are Indian Standard Time for New Delhi. In other cities they can differ by a few minutes. The panchang day runs from one sunrise to the next, so a tithi that ends at 4:52 AM on 21 February still belongs to the Hindu day of 20 February.

Why is the Purnima vrat sometimes a day earlier?

In 2027 this happens twice. Shravana Purnima is on Tuesday, 17 August, but the vrat is on Monday, 16 August. Kartika Purnima is on Sunday, 14 November, but the vrat is on Saturday, 13 November.

Drik Panchang lists the Purnima vrat a day earlier when the Purnima tithi begins by about midday (Madhyahna) on the previous day. On 16 August the tithi begins at 10:28 AM, and on 13 November it begins at 9:55 AM, so Drik lists the vrat on those days. Festival days are worked out separately, so check the festival date in your panchang.

Which festivals fall on Purnima in 2027?

These dates are from Drik Panchang’s own festival pages for New Delhi:

Drik gives the Hanuman Jayanti date for the North Indian tradition; customs differ by region, so check your local panchang.

Other well-known Purnima festivals: check the exact day

Some festivals are linked to a Purnima but are kept at night, at moonrise or by regional custom. Their observance day can differ from the Purnima date in the table, and we have not listed muhurats for them. Please check the exact day and muhurat on Drik Panchang’s festival page or with your family priest.

• Magha Purnima: the Purnima of Magha month, a traditional day for holy dips.

What is Purnima?

Purnima is the fifteenth tithi of Shukla Paksha, the bright half of the lunar month, when the moon is full. The next day the waning half, Krishna Paksha, begins. A year usually has 12 Purnimas, one in each Hindu month. Drik Panchang lists 12 Purnimas in 2027.

Each Purnima takes the name of its month, such as Magha Purnima or Kartika Purnima. Many devotees fast from sunrise and break the fast after moonrise or after the evening puja, as per family custom.

When should I do the Satyanarayana puja?

Many homes do the Satyanarayana puja and katha on Purnima. Drik Panchang notes that it may be done on the Purnima day itself or on the day before. For a griha pravesh or wedding-related katha, your pandit may also look at a muhurat; our Vivah muhurat 2027 page lists 2027 wedding dates.

Purnima and yatra plans

A holy dip (snan) in the Ganga on Kartik Purnima is a long tradition at Haridwar and Varanasi, and the ghats are very crowded on the day. In Varanasi, Dev Deepawali brings lamps to the ghats in the evening. If you are planning darshan in Kashi, read our Kashi Vishwanath darshan guide first. For other fixed dates in the year, such as kapat openings and festivals, see our yatra calendar 2027.

For the other key vrat of the month, see our Ekadashi 2027 list. If you want a birth chart before planning a vrat or puja, you can make a free kundli.
