Amavasya 2026 in Chennai – dates and local timings
All 12 amavasya dates of 2026 for Chennai (Tamil Nadu, India), with the start and end of the tithi in Chennai local time (Asia/Kolkata; IST). The first is on Sunday 18 January 2026 and the last on Wednesday 9 December 2026. 3 of them fall on a weekend: 18 January 2026 (Sun), 16 May 2026 (Sat), 10 October 2026 (Sat). Somavati (Monday) amavasya: 15 June 2026, 9 November 2026. Named ones: Vata Savitri Vratam 16 May; Polala Amavasya 11 Sep; Mahalaya Amavasya 10 Oct; Deepavali 8 Nov. The amavasya day is the day the tithi is present at local sunrise; when it covers two sunrises the second (darsha) day is listed. 1 of the 12 dates fall on a different day than in India (Hyderabad), shown in the last column: the tithi ends at the same instant worldwide, but Chennai's sunrise comes at a different moment of it. Chennai is about 520 km from Hyderabad and its sunrise comes on average 7 minutes earlier, which shifts rahu kalam by about as much and can move an observance by a day when a tithi changes close to sunrise; this year 1 of the dates here differ from Hyderabad. Each date links to that day's full panchangam for this city, with rahu kalam, nakshatra and end times.
