Purnima dates 2028
Every full moon of 2028, calculated for Chandigarh: the Purnima date, when the tithi begins and ends, and the vrat day where it falls the day before.
Purnima dates 2028
How the day is chosen
The Purnima date is the day whose sunrise falls in the full-moon tithi. When the tithi begins in the morning of the day before and still runs at noon, the fast (Purnima vrat, Satyanarayan puja) is kept that earlier day; both days are shown then.
Dates are for the chosen city. A tithi that starts or ends within minutes of sunrise can put a date a day apart between two cities; the start and end times are given for that reason. These dates are for guidance, and nothing here is a remedy.

Questions people ask
Are these dates for my city?
They are calculated for the city in the picker, Chandigarh until you choose another. Choose yours and the list is recalculated for its sunrise and its time zone; a tithi that starts or ends near sunrise can move a date by a day between two cities.
What do the times in each row mean?
The moment the tithi begins and the moment it ends, in the city’s own time. A day in brackets, such as “(2 Jan)”, marks a time that falls on the day before or after the date in the row.
Why does a date differ from my printed calendar?
The calendar was made for another city and the tithi started or ended close to sunrise there; it follows the other tradition; or it uses another ayanamsa or method. The tithi times on this page show which it is.
What is the vrat day, and why is it sometimes the day before?
The Purnima date is the day whose sunrise falls in the tithi. The fast and the Satyanarayan puja follow the tithi at midday and in the evening, so when the tithi begins in the morning of the day before, they are kept that earlier day. Both days are shown when they differ.
