Questions
What is pournami?
Pournami is the full moon day: the fifteenth tithi of the waxing fortnight (valarpirai). Girivalam at Thiruvannamalai is walked on pournami.
Why can pournami fall on the day before the full moon?
A tithi does not start at midnight. The calendar marks the day whose observance falls in the pournami tithi, so check the tithi times shown with each date.
