The purnimanta month ends on Magha Purnima, Friday, 7 February 2031. The amanta month ends on Magha Amavasya, Friday, 21 February 2031.
Why do North and South India show different dates?
Both systems use the same new-moon and full-moon moments. Purnimanta months end on Purnima, amanta months end on Amavasya, so the month name shifts by a fortnight for the Krishna paksha. Festival dates are the same; only the month label differs.
