Names follow the traditional North American (Old Farmer's Almanac) convention by Eastern-time calendar month. Harvest Moon = the full moon closest to the September equinox; Hunter's Moon = the one after it. Blue Moon = the second full moon in one calendar month (Eastern time). Hindu month names are amanta (the month that began at the previous new moon); Purnima festivals can fall a day earlier or later depending on local sunrise.
