Amavasya 2026 in South Africa
All 12 amavasya dates of 2026 for 2 cities in South Africa, computed for each city's own sunrise in local time, next to the India date. 3 of them fall on a different day somewhere in South Africa than in India. The tithi column shows the start and end in Johannesburg local time. The amavasya day is the day the tithi is present at local sunrise (the second day when it spans two). In Johannesburg the first is on Sunday 18 January 2026 and the last on Tuesday 8 December 2026. The tithi lasts between 20.1 and 26.1 hours this year, so it can miss a sunrise or cover two, which is where dates start to differ between cities. 4 of the Johannesburg dates fall on a weekend: 18 January 2026 (Sun), 16 May 2026 (Sat), 14 June 2026 (Sun), 10 October 2026 (Sat). Named ones: Vata Savitri Vratam 16 May; Polala Amavasya 10 Sep; Mahalaya Amavasya 10 Oct; Deepavali 8 Nov. Each city also has its own list with its local tithi times; choose it below. Dates here follow the Telugu (amanta) almanac rules. Many Hindu families in Fiji, Mauritius and South Africa use North-Indian (purnimanta) almanacs, which name the months differently and can differ for some vratams; the main festivals that are fixed by a tithi at a part of the day come out the same.
