About these dates
These dates are for Bengaluru. Amavasya is observed on the day the new-moon tithi holds the afternoon (aparahna). Tamil calendars use the midday kutapa instead, which usually gives the same day. In another city the date can move by a day when the tithi changes close to that window. Why the day is counted from sunrise.
The day whose afternoon (aparahna) the amavasya holds is Darsha amavasya. The Tamil pages use the kutapa, the midday muhurta for tarpanam, as Tamil calendars do. For three amavasais of 2027 (3 or 4 July, 29 or 30 September, 27 or 28 November) Tamil calendars print either day; the kutapa rule decides the date given here. If the tithi holds the window equally on two days, the first is taken. Computed by the Drik method, Lahiri ayanamsha.
