When is Amavasya this month?

Every lunar month has one Amavasya, roughly 29 to 30 days apart. The upcoming list above gives the next five dates with their exact tithi start and end times in your local clock.

Why is Amavasya on a different day in the USA?

Sunrise in New York, Chicago or California happens nine to twelve hours after Indian sunrise. Because the tithi at local sunrise decides the day, the US date frequently shifts by one day from the India date.

What do people do on Amavasya?

Amavasya is kept for pitru tarpan and shraddha for ancestors, charity, and fasting in some families. Mauni Amavasya, Somvati Amavasya and Mahalaya Amavasya carry additional observances.

What is the difference between Amavasya and Purnima?

Amavasya is the new moon, the last tithi of the waning Krishna paksha; Purnima is the full moon, the last tithi of the waxing Shukla paksha. They fall about fifteen days apart.
