Amavasya January 2027 – date and time
Amavasya in January 2027 falls on Thursday 7 January 2027 in India: the amavasya tithi begins at 11:14 PM, Wed, 6 Jan IST and ends at 1:54 AM, Fri, 8 Jan IST, so 7 January 2027 is the day whose sunrise falls inside the tithi. It is the amavasya of Margashira masa and the day of Margashira Lakshmivaram.

The previous amavasya is on Tuesday 8 December 2026, the next on Saturday 6 February 2027. Amavasya (new moon) is the day for pitru tarpanam; the amavasyas of Ashwayuja (Deepavali), Bhadrapada (Mahalaya) and Shravana (Polala) are festivals in their own right. The times are computed with the NASA/JPL DE440s ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa; the day is fixed by the tithi at local sunrise (the second day when the tithi covers two sunrises), so cities west of India can keep it a day earlier. The table gives the tithi in IST and in the four US time zones, with the day each city keeps.
