Ganga Snan Timings on Ashwin Purnima

Devotees traditionally take a holy dip in the Ganga and other sacred rivers on Purnima, followed by daan, or charitable giving. On Ashwin Purnima, those planning Ganga Snan can aim for the early morning hours of Monday, October 26, 2026.

The Brahma Muhurta in New Delhi is from 4:46 AM to 5:38 AM. Those travelling to a riverbank should account for local access, safety and the actual sunrise time at their destination. There is no single Ganga Snan clock time applicable to every city or ghat.

Devotees who cannot reach the Ganga may take a bath at home, remember Maa Ganga in prayer and proceed with their customary observances.

Ashwin Purnima Daan: What Can You Donate?

After the holy bath, devotees may perform daan according to their means and family traditions. Common offerings include:

• Food grains: Donate rice, wheat or other staples to people in need.
• Food: Offer meals or essential groceries to those who need assistance.
• Clothes: Donate clean clothes in usable condition.
• Dakshina: Give a voluntary monetary offering to a deserving recipient or religious institution.

Charity should be undertaken according to one's capacity, without financial hardship. Devotees may offer prayers and complete their customary rituals after the donation.

Why Is Ashwin Purnima Snan-Daan Observed on October 26?

The difference between the vrat date and the snan-daan date arises from the timing of the Purnima Tithi. Sharad Purnima's night-time observances are associated with Sunday, October 25, while the Purnima Tithi continues until 9:41 AM on Monday, October 26, in New Delhi.

Consequently, devotees following the customary morning observance for Purnima Snan-Daan can perform the holy bath and charity on October 26, before the Tithi ends.

Note: Purnima observances can follow different rules depending on the ritual and regional tradition. Check the local Panchang for the appropriate timings in your city.
