This year Purnima falls on a Monday, 19 days later than 2029 (2029-01-30) — typical lunar-calendar drift.
Falling on a Monday brings a Chandra emphasis — lunar rites and milk/rice offerings carry extra weight, especially for the moon-sensitive nakshatras.
The 2029 observance fell on Tuesday, 2029-01-30 — this year arrives 19 days later in the Gregorian calendar, the Adhika-masa pattern when an intercalary lunar month pushes the cycle forward.
Looking ahead to 2031, Purnima will fall on Friday, 2031-02-07 (11 days earlier than this year). So planning ritual schedules across years means anchoring to the tithi rather than the Gregorian date.
Astronomical context for Purnima 2030
On Monday, February 18, 2030, sunrise in Delhi (the reference city for this page) falls at 06:57 IST and sunset at 18:13 IST — a daylight span of 11h 16m. Across the six pan-Indian cities tabulated below, sunrise on this date varies from 06:06 (Kolkata) at the eastern edge to 07:05 (Mumbai) in the west — a 59-minute difference that drives the city-by-city muhurat shift you see in the table.
For Purnima 2030, the central rite of udaya tithi (sunrise) depends on the festival tithi being present during that window on 2030-02-18 — 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.
