More on Amavasya
What is Amavasya?
Amavasya is the new moon day — the end of Krishna Paksha — when the Moon is not visible. It is important for pitru tarpan (ancestor offerings), fasting, and many regional observances.
We list upcoming dates for your city using the same rules as our Amavasya calendar: names may include month or weekday qualifiers (e.g. Somvati Amavasya) when applicable.
Traditional practices
Many families perform shraddha, offer sesame and water to ancestors, and avoid starting major new ventures. Temples hold special pujas; exact customs vary by sampradaya and region.

Frequently asked questions
How many Amavasyas per year?
Typically twelve lunar months each have one Amavasya; our engine lists each occurrence for your location.
Is Amavasya inauspicious for all activities?
Traditionally it is avoided for weddings and grah pravesh; it is considered auspicious for ancestor rituals and certain spiritual practices. Follow your family guru or tradition.
Do Amavasya dates match the astronomical new moon?
Hindu Amavasya follows the tithi system (lunar day at local sunrise), which is closely related but not identical to the exact astronomical conjunction moment.
