When is Amavasya in 2026?

Amavasya falls on 10 October 2026. That date is calculated for New Delhi; because the tithi begins and ends at a local clock time, Ganak recomputes it for your own city.

How is Amavasya observed?

Amavasya is widely used for remembrance of ancestors, prayer, charity and quiet discipline, but there is no one compulsory monthly fast or one universal home tarpan method for every Hindu.

What are the food and fasting rules for Amavasya?

Choose regular satvik food, one meal, phalahar or a full fast according to the named Amavasya and your family tradition. Diwali, Somavati, Mauni and Sarva-Pitru Amavasya each have their own rules; do not apply them to every Amavasya.

When is the parana — breaking the fast — for Amavasya?

If fasting, break according to the named vow or family rule; otherwise after the day's prayer/charity with a light satvik meal.

How does Amavasya vary by region?

Somvati Amavasya adds Monday observances such as Peepal pradakshina in some regions. Mahalaya and Diwali Amavasya have distinct rites described on their own pages.
