New moon · fifteenth krishna tithi · 12-13 a year
When is the next Amavasya?

Sunrise decides which day a tithi names, and sunrise 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.

- Bhadrapada (purnimanta) · Shravana (amanta)
The two lunar-month names above are both correct. The same fortnight carries different month names in the purnimanta reckoning used across North India and the amanta reckoning used in the south and west — which is one of the honest reasons two calendars can disagree about a date.

Every Amavasya of the year
12 fall this year. The count moves between years: twelve lunations fall about eleven days short of a solar year, and an adhika (extra) month adds more.

Times are local to Jodhpur. 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.

Amavasya month by month
The same dates, split by calendar month, with the years either side of each. Every one of these is a stable address: /amavasya/march answers "when is Amavasya in March" for whichever year you are standing in, so it never has to be rewritten and never decays.

Common questions
When is the next Amavasya?
Friday, 11 September 2026. The tithi runs from 10 Sep, 10:34 to 11 Sep, 08:57 in Jodhpur.
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 above are the astronomy and are not in dispute — the day is an interpretation of them, and this page names the one it used.
How many Amavasya days are there in a year?
12 fall in 2026 for Jodhpur. The count moves between years because twelve lunations fall about eleven days short of a solar year, and an adhika (extra) month adds more.
