Amavasya 2026 in Singapore

Every date in 2026 for Singapore, on its own clock, with the other cities in Singapore noted where they keep a different day.

Amavasya, the new moon, ends the dark fortnight of every month. It is the day for tarpan and shraddha for the ancestors, and some are especially observed: Mauni Amavasya in Magha, Mahalaya Amavasya at the end of Pitru Paksha, and Somvati and Shani Amavasya when the new moon falls on a Monday or a Saturday.

How the dates are worked out

The date is the day Amavasya prevails at sunrise, calculated for the city chosen, with the times Amavasya begins and ends. For a ritual done at a particular part of the day, such as shraddha in the afternoon, check that Amavasya is still running then.
