Which date should I observe?

The astronomical full-moon instant occurs at the end of Purnima tithi. A Purnima fast or puja can use a local sunrise, moonrise or tradition-specific rule. The interval table is a timing reference, not a universal fasting prescription.

Method and location

The calculation locates 12-degree steps in the geocentric Moon–Sun elongation using Swiss Ephemeris. Start and end times are displayed to the minute in IST. These instants are shared globally; their clock times and civil dates depend on timezone. For sunrise and local Panchang context, choose your city. Regional month names and observance conventions can differ.
