Festival today — common questions
What is today's tithi?
At sunrise in New Delhi on 26 October 2026, Monday it is Ashwin Shukla Purnima.
What festival is today?
Today, 26 October 2026, Monday, is not a festival day. The next festival is Karwa Chauth (29 October 2026, Thursday).
Which vrat is today?
Today is Ashwin Purnima (Sharad Purnima).
Which observance period is under way?
Chaturmas (day 94 of 119).
Is today Purnima?
Yes, today is Purnima.
Why do festival dates move every year?
Because a festival is fixed to a tithi, not to a Gregorian date. Twelve lunations fall about eleven days short of a solar year, so the same tithi lands on a different English date each year — and an adhika (extra) month can move it by a month.
Which city are these dates computed for?
This page is answering for New Delhi. Use the city strip above to move it to yours — an observance decided at moonrise or at pradosh, such as Karwa Chauth or Diwali, can genuinely fall on a different day in two cities.
