Purnima Fasting or Pournami Vratham Purnima fasting on Chaturdashi occurs only when Purnima starts during Madhyahna period on the previous day. It is believed that if Chaturdashi prevails beyond Madhyahna then it pollutes Purnima Tithi and this Chaturdashi day should not be considered for Purnima fasting even if Purnima prevails during the evening. There are no two opinions on this rule.

Pournami days 2022 according to this rule. In North India full moon day is known as Purnima or Poornima.
