Amavasya 2026 and Purnima 2026 - Complete Dates and Timings

Amavasya is the final Tithi of Krishna Paksha, when the angular separation of the Moon from the Sun approaches conjunction. Purnima is the final Tithi of Shukla Paksha, ending at the full-moon opposition. Unlike a fixed 24-hour civil day, a Tithi begins and ends according to the changing angular distance between the Sun and Moon, so it can start on one Gregorian date and finish on the next.

Why does location matter?

The astronomical Tithi boundary is geocentric, but the clock time shown to you is local time. More importantly, Hindu calendar observance commonly considers whether the Tithi is present at local sunrise, and sunrise varies by location. This page therefore shows both the exact Tithi interval and a sunrise-based local observance date instead of hiding the distinction.

Amavasya/Purnima Date vs exact astronomical New Moon/Full Moon

A Hindu Tithi is a 12-degree interval of Sun-Moon angular separation, not only a single instant. The exact conjunction occurs at the end of Amavasya Tithi, while the exact 180-degree opposition occurs at the end of Purnima Tithi. For fasting, puja or festival observance, follow the relevant local tradition and Panchang rule rather than using only the peak astronomical moment.
