Times are local to New Delhi. A row marked kshaya tithi is one the tithi never carried at sunrise — it began after one and ended before the next, and the observance is kept on the day it ran through. A row marked also kept the next day is one where the tithi spans two sunrises, so two traditions genuinely take two different days; the Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi calendars differ on exactly that.

- Each tithi's own start and end is shown, so you can check the day yourself
- This address never carries a year — it answers for whichever year you are standing in
The same month, computed for New Delhi, across the years this page answers for. Past years are kept rather than dropped: checking last year's dates against a calendar you already have is the cheapest way to decide whether to trust this one.

Those year links are variants of this page rather than pages of their own: each one carries a canonical back to /amavasya/december and asks search engines not to index it. One address for "Amavasya in December" that answers for the year you are in beats a new address every January that starts again from nothing.
Common questions
When is Amavasya in December 2026?
Tuesday, 8 December 2026. The tithi runs from 8 Dec, 4:13 AM to 9 Dec, 6:22 AM in New Delhi.
How many Amavasya days are there in December?
1 in December 2026 for New Delhi. The count moves between years because a lunation is about 29.5 days and a Gregorian month is 28 to 31, so the same month can carry a different number in two consecutive years.
Why does my calendar show a different Amavasya date?
Because a tithi rarely begins and ends at sunrise. When it is running at sunrise on two days, or on none, traditions divide: some take the day the tithi touches sunrise, others the day it begins. The start and end instants in the table are the astronomy and are not in dispute — the day is an interpretation of them, and this page names the one it used.
