Amavasya Dates Calendar

Amavasya is the Sanskrit term for the new moon day - the 30th tithi (lunar day) of the Krishna Paksha (waning fortnight) in the Hindu lunisolar calendar. On this day the moon is not visible in the sky, as the lunar and solar longitudes coincide. There are 12 to 13 Amavasya days each year, each falling in a different Hindu month. This calendar lists Amavasya dates from 2024 onwards, calculated from the precise moment the Amavasya tithi begins and ends according to the Surya Siddhanta astronomical system.

Spiritual Significance in India

Amavasya holds deep religious importance across Hindu traditions. It is the most auspicious day for Pitru Tarpan - the ritual offering of water and sesame seeds (til jal) to deceased ancestors - believed to liberate ancestral souls and bring blessings to the living family. Mahalaya Amavasya in the Ashwin month (September-October) is especially significant: millions across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh gather at riverbanks - including the Ganges at Haridwar and the Kaveri at Srirangam - for mass Tarpan. Temples of Lord Shiva observe special abishekam (ritual bathing of the deity) on Amavasya, and some devotees observe strict fasting from sunrise to moonrise.

Amavasya Questions

Amavasya is the new moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar - the night when the moon is completely invisible. It marks the end of Krishna Paksha (waning phase) and is sacred for ancestor worship (Pitru Tarpan), Kali/Shakti puja, and spiritual practices.

Somvati Amavasya is an Amavasya that falls on a Monday - extremely auspicious and rare (2–5 times per year). Married women observe the Peepal tree parikrama (circumambulation) ritual and pray for their husband's long life.

Shani Amavasya is an Amavasya that falls on a Saturday. It is significant for propitiating Saturn and seeking relief from Sade Sati, Shani Dhaiya, and other Saturn-related troubles.

Hindu tradition holds that departed ancestors (Pitru) are accessible to their descendants on Amavasya. Performing Pitru Tarpan (offering water and sesame seeds) on this day is believed to bring peace to the ancestors and blessings to the living family.

There are 12 Amavasya days in a regular Hindu year - one per lunar month. In an Adhik Maas (leap month) year, there may be 13.
