This year Purnima falls on a Tuesday, 10 days earlier than 2028 (2028-02-10) — typical lunar-calendar drift.
Falling on a Tuesday gives the day a Mangal emphasis — courage-related rites and red offerings carry extra weight.
The 2028 observance fell on Thursday, 2028-02-10 — this year arrives 10 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar, the familiar 11-day shift of the unmodified lunar year.
Looking ahead to 2030, Purnima will fall on Monday, 2030-02-18 (19 days later than this year). So planning ritual schedules across years means anchoring to the tithi rather than the Gregorian date.
Astronomical context for Purnima 2029
On Tuesday, January 30, 2029, sunrise in Delhi (the reference city for this page) falls at 07:10 IST and sunset at 17:58 IST — a daylight span of 10h 48m.

For Purnima 2029, the central rite of udaya tithi (sunrise) depends on the festival tithi being present during that window on 2029-01-30 — confirmed across 6 reference cities in this year's computation pass. Cities further east (Kolkata, Chennai) see the window open ~15-25 minutes before Delhi; cities west of Delhi (Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore) see it start later by a similar margin.
