Counting down to Sharad Purnima 2026
Your local time · Sunday 25 October 2026
Sharad Purnima follows Ashwin Purnima (the full moon of Ashwin), shortly after Dussehra. It runs for about 1 day nationally.
A common question is why the date moves. The Hindu calendar is lunisolar: it tracks the moon for months and the sun for years, which means the civil date of a lunar festival drifts by up to about a fortnight from one year to the next. Islamic festivals follow the purely lunar Hijri calendar and move roughly eleven days earlier every year, subject to moon sighting. A handful of festivals — Makar Sankranti, Vaisakhi, Pongal and the other solar ones — stay on nearly the same date. The entry below tells you which of these applies here.
Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, a major household observance with a full puja, a night-long vigil, and a distinct arrangement including the owl as Lakshmi's vahan. It is one of Bengal's most important household pujas.
Sharad Purnima with kheer left under the moon, a Lakshmi puja, and fasting. In Braj, the night is Raas Purnima, tied to Krishna's ras lila.
Observed with a Lakshmi puja and the moonlight kheer custom, and considered a favourable night for the kojaagari vrat.
Celebrated as Kumar Purnima, when young people worship the moon and traditional games and puja are held. It is one of Odisha's distinctive autumn festivals.
Raas Purnima is the central date of the Manipuri Raas Lila, the classical dance-drama tradition performed at the Govindji temple in Imphal and elsewhere.
