All times are Indian Standard Time, for New Delhi. Differences of 1–2 minutes between panchangs are normal. How we calculate
How the Amavasya date is fixed
- The Amavasya day is the one with the Amavasya tithi at sunrise. Drik Panchang names this day “<month> Amavasya”, with the month of the purnimanta (North Indian) reckoning; the amanta month is given in the tithi column.
- Darsha Amavasya: when the Amavasya tithi begins a day early, Drik Panchang sometimes lists that earlier day separately as “Darsha Amavasya”. In 2026 and 2027 Darsha Amavasya is each time the day on whose Aparahna (the fourth of the day’s five parts) Amavasya lasts longer; applying this rule in our calculation gives all 25 of Drik Panchang’s dates.
- According to Drik Panchang an Amavasya on a Monday is called Somvati Amavasya and one on a Saturday Shani Amavasya.
We computed every date from October 2026 to December 2027 with our panchang engine and compared it with Drik Panchang’s New Delhi list; all 16 dates agree (3 in 2026, 13 in 2027). Our tithi start and end times run 1–2 minutes after Drik Panchang’s. We do not publish a date or time that does not match.

When is Amavasya in December?

What is Darsha Amavasya, and why is it sometimes a day earlier?
The Amavasya tithi often spans two days. Drik Panchang names the day with Amavasya at sunrise “<month> Amavasya”; when Amavasya begins on the previous day and lasts longer in that day’s Aparahna (the afternoon part), it lists that previous day separately as “Darsha Amavasya”. In this list that happens on 8 November (Kartika Amavasya 9 November), 7 March (Phalguna Amavasya 8 March), 3 July (Ashadha Amavasya 4 July), 29 September (Ashwina Amavasya 30 September), 27 November (Margashirsha Amavasya 28 November); in the other months both fall on the same day. Ask your purohit which rite belongs to which day.
When are Somvati Amavasya and Shani Amavasya?
According to Drik Panchang an Amavasya on a Monday is called Somvati and one on a Saturday Shani Amavasya. In this list: Saturday, 10 October 2026 (Shani Amavasya); Monday, 9 November 2026 (Somvati Amavasya); Saturday, 6 February 2027 (Shani Amavasya); Monday, 8 March 2027 (Somvati Amavasya); Monday, 2 August 2027 (Somvati Amavasya); Monday, 27 December 2027 (Somvati Amavasya).
What is done on Amavasya?
Drik Panchang notes that every Amavasya is held suitable for shraddh and tarpan for one’s ancestors; many people bathe, give and offer tarpan on this day. The rites differ from family to family, so follow your purohit’s advice.
