Amavasya 2026: all 12 dates, with Somvati and Mauni Amavasya

Amavasya 2026 list: every date

Times are local to Sydney. The Note column says when the usual rule did not settle the day on its own — a tithi that met its deciding moment on two days, or on none — and which day this page took.

How the Amavasya date is decided

Amavasya is the fifteenth tithi of Krishna paksha — the new moon — and its day is the one whose sunrise it touches; when it touches none (kshaya) it is kept on the day it runs through. Its month name depends on the reckoning, because the new moon ends a month under amanta and falls mid-month under purnimanta: the same day is Magha Amavasya to a North Indian (purnimanta) calendar and Pausha Amavasya to an amanta one. The table prints both. The named Amavasyas follow simple rules: Somvati when it falls on a Monday, Bhaumvati on a Tuesday, Shani (Shanishchari) on a Saturday; Mauni is the Magha Amavasya; Mahalaya, which closes Pitru Paksha, is the Ashwin Amavasya in purnimanta reckoning and Bhadrapada in amanta. Diwali belongs to the Kartika Amavasya but its Lakshmi Puja is decided in the evening (pradosh), so it can fall the day before the Amavasya listed here — the row says so when it does.

Amavasya 2026 in other cities

The moment that decides the day — sunrise, the evening pradosh or moonrise — differs across India by well over an hour, so the day itself, not only the clock times, can differ between two cities on this list.

This table is recomputed for the city you pick. Those links are variants of this page: each carries a canonical back to the address above and asks search engines not to index it.
