The purnimanta month ends on Pausha Purnima, Saturday, 19 January 2030. The amanta month ends on Pausha Amavasya, Saturday, 2 February 2030.
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.
