How are Amavasya dates calculated for Durban?
Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Durban falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for -29.8579°, 31.0292° (Africa/Johannesburg). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.
Which 2026 Amavasyas in Durban are Somvati, Shani or Bhaumvati?
Named by the civil weekday in Durban (Africa/Johannesburg): Bhaumvati (3): Tue 2026/02/17, Tue 2026/07/14, Tue 2026/12/08; Shani (2): Sat 2026/05/16, Sat 2026/10/10; Somvati (1): Mon 2026/11/09.
Do Amavasya dates in Durban differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (Africa/Johannesburg), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Durban may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Durban, not a generic India table.
