பௌர்ணமி
Until 9:41 AM, then Krishna Pratipada
Next: Krishna Pratipada from Mon 26 Oct, 9:41 AM
திங்கள், 26 அக்டோபர் 2026 · திதி: பௌர்ணமி — 9:41 AM வரை · அடுத்து: தேய்பிறை பிரதமை. Today, Monday 26 October 2026, the tithi in Chennai is Purnima from sunrise until 9:41 AM, and Krishna Pratipada after that.
Purnima began at 11:56 AM on 25 Oct. Running now (10:17 PM): Krishna Pratipada, until 7:02 AM on 27 Oct.
A tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain twelve degrees on the Sun, so it begins and ends at one instant for everyone — in every city on Indian Standard Time the clock time below is the same. What changes from city to city is sunrise, and sunrise decides which tithi names the day. A tithi runs about 20 to 27 hours, so most days carry two.

Two reckonings name the same month differently for half of it. North India counts the month purnimanta, ending at the full moon; Gujarat, Maharashtra and the South count it amanta, ending at the new moon. In Shukla paksha both give one name; in Krishna paksha the purnimanta name is already the next month's. Both are shown, computed at this sunrise.

Today's tithi makes this a vrat or festival day in Chennai:

Each row is the tithi running at that day's sunrise in Chennai, and the moment it ends. A tithi that begins after one sunrise and ends before the next is kshaya: it names no day, and the row says so.

The panchang counts a day from sunrise to the next sunrise, not from midnight. The tithi running at sunrise — the udaya tithi — is the tithi of that whole day, even when it ends at breakfast. A tithi that touches no sunrise is kshaya and names no day; one that touches two sunrises (vriddhi) names both. Festivals do not always follow this rule: Karwa Chauth is decided at moonrise, Diwali in pradosh kaal and Janmashtami at midnight, so each festival's own page applies its own moment. The start and end instants above are astronomy and are not in dispute; an almanac built on a different ephemeris model can print them a minute or two apart.
Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so on some days the tithi that names the day — not only the sunrise time — differs between two cities on this list.
Tamil thithi today — common questions
What is the tithi today?
Today, Monday 26 October 2026, the tithi in Chennai is Purnima from sunrise until 9:41 AM, and Krishna Pratipada after that. The tithi running at sunrise (6:00 AM) names the day, which is why Purnima is today's tithi.
What time does today's tithi end?
Purnima ends at 9:41 AM (Chennai time). The end is one instant for everyone, so every city on Indian Standard Time shows the same clock time; only sunrise changes with the city.
What is the Tamil date today?
ஐப்பசி 9 (Aippasi 9). The Tamil month is solar: it begins when the Sun enters a sidereal sign, counted by the sunset rule, so it turns over mid-way through a lunar month rather than at a new moon.
Why does the thithi's lunar month differ from the Tamil month?
The thithi belongs to the lunar month (new moon to new moon), which Tamil almanacs also print; the Tamil month counts the Sun's sign. The two run about two weeks out of step, and both are shown above.
Is there a vrat or festival today?
Yes — today is Ashwin Purnima (Sharad Purnima).
