Sawan Purnima falls on August 28, 2026, Hindu calendar shows

The auspicious occasion of Sawan Purnima will be celebrated on August 28, 2026, based on the traditional Hindu calendar system known as the Panchang. The full moon tithi in the bright fortnight of Sawan will commence on August 27, 2026 at 9:09 AM and conclude on August 28, 2026 at 9:47 AM.

Following the principle of Udaya Tithi, which determines festival observances based on the tithi prevailing at sunrise, the festival will be observed on August 28. This calculation method ensures that the celebration aligns with when the full moon tithi is predominantly visible during daylight hours in India.

Sawan Purnima holds considerable religious significance in Hindu tradition. The month of Sawan, also known as Shravan, is considered particularly auspicious for spiritual practices and devotional activities. The full moon day is observed by devotees who engage in prayers, fasting, and offerings at temples across the country.

Hindu calendar enthusiasts and religious practitioners are advised to consult local Panchang publications and temple authorities for specific muhurat timings and rituals relevant to their region, as observance practices may vary based on geographical location and local traditions.
