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.

Those year links are variants of this page rather than pages of their own: each one carries a canonical back to /amavasya/may and asks search engines not to index it. One address for "Amavasya in May" 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 May 2024?
Wednesday, 8 May 2024. The tithi runs from 7 May, 11:41 AM to 8 May, 8:52 AM in New Delhi.
How many Amavasya days are there in May?
1 in May 2024 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.
