When is Guru Purnima in 2026?

Guru Purnima 2026 will be observed on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. It falls in the month of Ashadha.

Why are there two Jyeshtha Purnimas in 2026?

The year 2026 has an 'Adhik Maas' (Extra Month). Therefore, there is an Adhik Jyeshtha Purnima on May 31, 2026, and a Nija Jyeshtha Purnima on June 29, 2026.

When is the best time to perform Satyanarayan Puja?

The most auspicious time is in the evening (Pradosh Kaal) of the Purnima Tithi. Booking a Vedic Pandit ensures the rituals are done correctly.
