Move month by month through major festivals, Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, sacred periods and regional observances. Filter by deity or calendar layer, then select a highlighted day for its lunar setting and guidance.
Sharad Purnima is listed here as a Ashwin Shukla Purnima observance within the month-by-month Hindu calendar.
Why it is celebrated
The full moon is honoured as a point of completion and clarity in the lunar month. Communities connect individual Purnimas with teachers, deities, seasonal change, charity or sacred bathing.
A thoughtful way to observe
Follow your family or temple tradition, and confirm the local tithi and fasting window before a time-sensitive observance.
This is a festival and Panchang-highlight calendar for India, not a live daily Panchang. A tithi can span two Gregorian dates; the observed day, nakshatra, muhurta and fasting window vary by city, sampradaya and regional calendar. Confirm local timings before a time-sensitive observance.
