Guru Purnima 2028: Thursday, 6 July 2028

Guru Purnima in 2028 falls on Thursday, 6 July 2028. It is kept on the Purnima of amanta Ashadha.

Why Guru Purnima Is on 6 July in 2028

The Purnima begins at 23:04 on 5 July 2028 and ends at 23:40 on 6 July 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Guru Purnima tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 6 July 2028 the Sun rises at 05:29 and sets at 19:22 at New Delhi. The Purnima is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 6 July 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Purnima lasts 24 hours 36 minutes, against 25 hours 46 minutes in 2026 and 26 hours 26 minutes in 2027: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 13 hours 53 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi. The Purnima ends at the full moon itself, 23:40 on 6 July 2028, with the Moon in Sagittarius and Purva Ashadha.

When the Purnima begins, the Moon is in Mula, ruled by Ketu.

Guru Purnima in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Guru Purnima 2028 comes 12 days earlier in the calendar year than Guru Purnima 2027. Between Guru Purnima 2027 and Guru Purnima 2028 the lunation table has 12 new moons, and twelve lunations fall short of a solar year, so the date moves earlier.

In the 2028 table Guru Purnima comes 4 days after Devshayani Ekadashi and 18 days before Hariyali Teej.

Within six days of Guru Purnima in 2028: Devshayani Ekadashi (2 July).
