Paush Purnima 2027: Friday, 22 January 2027
Shukla Purnima · amanta Pausha · computed for New Delhi
Paush Purnima in 2027 falls on Friday, 22 January 2027. It is kept on the Purnima of amanta Pausha.
Why Paush Purnima Is on 22 January in 2027
The Purnima begins at 21:30 on 21 January 2027 and ends at 17:47 on 22 January 2027. The 2027 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Paush Purnima tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.
On 22 January 2027 the Sun rises at 07:13 and sets at 17:51 at New Delhi. The Purnima is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 22 January 2027 is the day.
In 2027 the Purnima lasts 20 hours 17 minutes, against 20 hours 39 minutes in 2026 and 20 hours 47 minutes in 2028: 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 10 hours 38 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi. The Purnima ends at the full moon itself, 17:47 on 22 January 2027, with the Moon in Cancer and Pushya.
The daily panchang for 22 January 2027 gives Purnima at sunrise; the day before, Shukla Chaturdashi; the day after, Krishna Pratipada. At that sunrise the yoga is Vishkambha and the karana Vishti. The panchang for 22 January 2027 has the rest of the day.
When the Purnima begins, the Moon is in Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter.

Paush Purnima 2027 comes 19 days later in the calendar year than Paush Purnima 2026. Between Paush Purnima 2026 and Paush Purnima 2027 the lunation table has 13 new moons, one more than the usual twelve, because 2026 had Adhika Jyeshtha; thirteen lunations run longer than a solar year, so the date moves later.
In the 2027 table Paush Purnima comes first of the year’s festivals and 3 days before Sakat Chauth.
Within six days of Paush Purnima in 2027: Sakat Chauth (25 January).
