The day named is the one on which the tithi is running at sunrise. A row marked near sunrise begins within an hour of it, and calendars made for other cities may name the day before or after.

Amavasya dates for the next twelve months — calculated for your place

Amavasya falls on the new moon, the 15th tithi of Krishna paksha. The list below is computed for the sunrise at your place, so the day is right for where you are, with the time each tithi begins and ends.

Computed in your browserNext 12 monthsYour locationStart and end times

The short answer

Amavasya is kept on the new moon, the 15th tithi of Krishna paksha, and the date changes every month because a tithi is a lunar day, not a calendar one. The day for Amavasya is the one on which that tithi is running at sunrise at your place; when the tithi begins after sunrise it is kept the next day. This page computes the Moon's elongation from the Sun for each sunrise at your location over the coming twelve months and lists every Amavasya with the tithi's start and end times, so you can see a two-day tithi and decide with your family's tradition.

How to

Four steps to the dates

  1. Step 1: Allow your location, or pick a city

    The sunrise rule needs your place. Cities an hour apart in sunrise can differ by a day when a tithi begins near dawn.

  2. Step 2: Read the list

    Every Amavasya for the next twelve months, with the weekday, the lunar month and paksha, and when the tithi starts and ends.

  3. Step 3: Check a close call

    When the tithi begins within an hour of sunrise, the row says so; that is the day different panchangs may disagree on.

  4. Step 4: Add it to your calendar

    Copy the dates, or download the whole list as a calendar file that opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.

Getting it right

Worth knowing before you read it

  • Why the date moves

    A lunar month is 29½ days, so any tithi comes about eleven days earlier each solar month and the same festival lands on a different date every year.

  • The sunrise rule

    The tithi at sunrise names the day. Sunrise is computed for your place; for the whole of India it varies by more than an hour east to west.

  • Smarta and Vaishnava

    For Ekadashi, when the tithi overlaps dawn on two days, Smarta households often keep the first day and Vaishnava (ISKCON) households the second. The start and end times let you apply your own rule.

  • Made for your city

    A list printed for one city is right for that city. This one is recomputed for wherever you are, which is the only way to be right everywhere.

Computed, not looked up — in your browser

Positions come from published astronomy (Meeus and the JPL orbital elements), the ayanamsa is Lahiri, the houses whole-sign, and the same code runs in the Jyotish app. Your birth details and location are used by your own browser and never sent, and no language model reads or writes your chart. Switch the page to another language and only its fixed text goes to our translation service; your result stays in English, in your browser.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Anything we've missed?

Tell us

When is the next Amavasya?

The first row of the list above is the next Amavasya at your location, with the tithi's start and end. The list is computed when the page loads, so it is always the next twelve months from today.

Why does my calendar show Amavasya on a different day?

Almost always because it was made for a different city, or because the tithi began just after sunrise where you are. Look at the start time in the row: if it is within an hour of sunrise, the two calendars are applying the same rule to different sunrises.

Why does this panchang differ from my printed one by a day?

Usually the sunrise rule. A tithi named for a day is the one running at sunrise at your place, and a tithi that begins just after sunrise is named for the next day. Check the end time shown under each element. Printed panchangs are also computed for one city; this one is computed for yours.

Is the panchang sent anywhere?

Your location, if you allow it, is used by your own browser to compute sunrise and the day's elements, and it is never sent. Choose a city instead if you prefer not to share it. If you switch the page to another language, only the page's fixed text is translated; the panchang for your place stays in English.
