There are 12 Purnima in 2027 for the Delhi region — one full moon in each lunar month (plus an extra in a leap month).
Purnima is observed with fasting, a holy dip, Satyanarayan puja and charity. Many Purnimas are also major festivals.
Buddha Purnima (Vaishakha), Guru Purnima (Ashadha), Raksha Bandhan (Shravana), Sharad Purnima (Ashwin) and Kartik Purnima are the most celebrated.
The vrat is typically kept from sunrise, broken after sighting the moon in the evening. Many perform Satyanarayan katha and puja, take a holy dip, and give charity. Fasting styles range from nirjala to fruit-only — a personal choice.
The full moon is considered an auspicious time for the Satyanarayan vrat katha, performed for wellbeing, gratitude and the fulfilment of vows. It can also be done on other days, but Purnima is the traditional favourite.
On several Purnimas (notably Sharad Purnima) devotees offer arghya to the full moon and keep kheer under moonlight, believing its rays carry nourishing, calming qualities — a devotional tradition rather than a guaranteed effect.
