Buddha Purnima 2026 in Honolulu
बुद्ध पूर्णिमा
Buddha Purnima 2026 in Honolulu falls on Thursday, 30 April 2026. Buddha Purnima, on the full moon of Vaishakha, commemorates the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Gautama Buddha, revered as an avatar of Vishnu in the Hindu tradition.
The two differ because the tithi doesn't begin and end at midnight — it can start or finish on different calendar days in Honolulu than in New Delhi. DevYatra observes the date correct for where you are, not an India-default calendar.
