No Poya days are absolutely not fixed to any specific day of the week. They strictly follow the lunar calendar occurring exactly on the day of the full moon every single month.

A Poya day can fall on a Tuesday Thursday or any other day. It is always a mandatory national public holiday. You must check a specific Sri Lankan lunar calendar online before your trip to know exactly which dates your travel will be affected.
