Amavasya May 2027 – date and time
Amavasya in May 2027 falls on Thursday 6 May 2027 in India: the amavasya tithi begins at 6:17 PM, Wed, 5 May IST and ends at 4:28 PM, Thu, 6 May IST, so 6 May 2027 is the day whose sunrise falls inside the tithi. It is the amavasya of Chaitra masa. In the USA the same tithi runs from 8:47 AM, 5 May to 6:58 AM, 6 May Eastern time and from 5:47 AM, 5 May to 3:58 AM, 6 May Pacific time; the amavasya day is Thursday 6 May 2027 in New York and Wednesday 5 May 2027 in Los Angeles. The previous amavasya is on Tuesday 6 April 2027, the next on Friday 4 June 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.
