Dates follow the sunrise tithi for the India-baseline Panchang. Observance rules tied to moonrise, pradosha, or nishita (for example Diwali on the Kartik Amavasya, or Pradosha worship at sunset) can place the vrata a day around the listed tithi day — confirm on the daily Panchang page before fixing a personal vrata.
Common questions
How is the Amavasya date decided?
Occurs monthly when the Moon reaches the 30th tithi (new moon), calculated as the moment when Sun and Moon have the same longitude. This is the darkest night of the lunar month.
Can the date differ by city?
Yes. The tithi moment is universal, but which civil day it maps to depends on local sunrise and timezone, so diaspora locations can differ by one day from India.
Why do some months have two dates in the list?
A civil year holds 12–13 lunar months, so a Amavasya can occur 12 or 13 times, and an Adhika Maas adds an extra occurrence.
