What is Amavasya?

Amavasya is the new moon day, the last tithi of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha). It is a day for offerings to ancestors (Pitru Tarpan); Mahalaya Amavasya and the Diwali Amavasya are the best known.

How the date is chosen

The date listed is the day on which Amavasya prevails at sunrise. Each Amavasya is named by the North Indian (purnimanta) month it ends, so the Diwali Amavasya is Kartika Amavasya.

Is the Amavasya of this month on the same day everywhere in India?

Usually, but when the tithi begins or ends near sunrise the day can differ between cities, because sunrise differs.
