The purnimanta month ends on Pausha Purnima, Wednesday, 8 January 2031. The amanta month ends on Pausha Amavasya, Thursday, 23 January 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.
