Kartika Amavasya: Darsha Amavasya (vrat) on Sunday, 8 November 2026, snan-daan on Monday, 9 November 2026. The tithi runs from 11:28, 8 Nov to 12:31, 9 Nov IST. The one after is Margashirsha Amavasya on Tuesday, 8 December 2026.
12 Amavasyas fall in 2026, including one in the Adhik (extra) lunar month; 2027 has 13. Most years have 12, and 13 when an extra lunar month or an early January new moon falls in the year.
The tithi changes at one instant, not at midnight. The Darsha Amavasya vrat is kept on the day the tithi holds at midday, while snan, daan and pitru tarpan follow the tithi at sunrise (udaya tithi). Example: Chaitra Amavasya 2026 runs 08:25, 18 Mar to 06:53, 19 Mar IST, so the vrat is on 18 Mar and snan-daan on 19 Mar.
Amavasya is the new moon tithi (last of Krishna paksha). It is the main day for pitru tarpan and shraddha for ancestors, holy bathing and charity. An Amavasya on Monday is Somvati Amavasya, on Saturday Shani Amavasya. Coming up: Somvati Amavasya Monday, 9 November 2026, Bhaumvati Amavasya Tuesday, 8 December 2026, Shani Amavasya (Shanishchari) Saturday, 6 February 2027.
See today's tithi with begin and end times on the panchang today page. Amavasya tithi, like every tithi, lasts about 19 to 26 hours and its times are the same instant for all of India in IST.
