2 What Is Puranmashi (Purnima)?
Puranmashi (ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀ) is the full moon day, occurring when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth. In the traditional Indian lunar calendar, Purnima corresponds to the fifteenth tithi of Shukla Paksha (Sudi), the bright fortnight of the lunar month.
A lunar month is divided into two Pakshas:
- Shukla Paksha (Sudi / ਸੁਦੀ / शुक्ल पक्ष): The waxing phase of the Moon, beginning after Amavasya and ending with Purnima.
- Krishna Paksha (Vadi / ਵਦੀ / कृष्ण पक्ष): The waning phase of the Moon, beginning after Purnima and ending with Amavasya.
These phases are generally described as two fortnights of approximately 15 lunar tithis each. A lunar tithi does not necessarily correspond to one complete civil day.
In Punjabi, Purnima is commonly called Puranmashi or Pooranmashi (ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀ), while Amavasya is called Masya (ਮੱਸਿਆ).
Although the Nanakshahi calendar uses solar months, the SGPC calendar also lists traditional lunar observances such as Puranmashi and Masya alongside Nanakshahi dates.

5 Puranmashi Dates 2026 in Punjabi – ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀ ਕੈਲੰਡਰ
ਸਾਲ 2026 ਵਿੱਚ ਕੁੱਲ 13 ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਆਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀ ਵਾਲੇ ਦਿਨ ਚੰਦਰਮਾ ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਮਾਨ ਦਿਖਾਈ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਦੇਸੀ ਕੈਲੰਡਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ ਦਿਨ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਦੀ ਪੱਖ ਦੀ ਪੰਦਰ੍ਹਵੀਂ ਤਿੱਥ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

6 Why Are There 13 Puranmashi Dates in 2026?
Most Gregorian calendar years contain 12 full moons, but some have 13. A complete lunar phase cycle takes approximately 29.5 days, which is shorter than the average Gregorian calendar month.
Because of this difference, two full moons can occur within one Gregorian month. In 2026, May has two full moons:
- First Puranmashi: Friday, 1 May 2026 – 18 Vaisakh 558.
- Second Puranmashi: Sunday, 31 May 2026 – 17 Jeth 558.
The second full moon in a Gregorian calendar month is commonly called a Blue Moon. However, this modern astronomical term should not be confused with the traditional lunar-calendar concept of an Adhik month.
7 Names of the 12 Desi Months in the Nanakshahi Calendar

7. Why can a Puranmashi date differ from an astronomical full-moon date?
Puranmashi calendar dates are based on the lunar tithi and the calendar convention used for the observance. A lunar tithi can overlap parts of two Gregorian dates, while an astronomical full moon refers to an exact moment calculated for a particular time zone and location. Because of this, a Puranmashi date and an astronomical full-moon date may occasionally differ by one day.
8. What is the difference between Puranmashi and Masya?
Puranmashi is associated with the full-moon lunar tithi, while Masya or Amavasya is associated with the new-moon lunar tithi. Puranmashi occurs at the completion of the waxing phase of the Moon, while Masya occurs at the end of the waning phase. See the complete Masya Dates 2026 calendar for the corresponding new-moon dates.
