Amavasya April 2026: date and tithi
Amavasya in April 2026 falls on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 (Vaishakha Amavasya). The amavasya tithi runs Thu, 16 Apr, 2026, 8:12 PM to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026, 5:22 PM IST. People search "amavasya april 2026" and "april 2026 mein amavasya kab hai" most in the weeks before, so this page keeps the answer at the top.
A tithi is not a calendar day. It is the time the Moon takes to move 12 degrees relative to the Sun, roughly 19 to 26 hours. That is why the amavasya can start in the evening of one day and the observance can be listed on the next.
