Puranmashi or Purnima 2026 Date Tithi This Month January & more

The Full Moon in the sky that day is called Puranmashi (Pooranmashi or Punia) in the Punjabi language. Purnima is called in the Hindi language. On this night, the moon appears in its full shape and is brighter than on other days in the sky, according to the lunar Hindu calendar.

The Sun light fully illuminates the Moon and its face to the Earth side, which makes it a bright full circle. Many Sikh and Hindu festivals and religious events are associated with Purnima, including major celebrations like Holi, Buddha Purnima, Guru Purnima, Rakshabandhan, Sharad Purnima, and Kartika Purnima, which also mark Sikh, Hindu, and Jain events.
