Pradosha overlap (sunset + 144 minutes); later evening if both qualify. This is not a Lagna-based puja muhurta.

How are Amavasya dates calculated for Jaffna?
Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Jaffna falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for 9.6684°, 80.0074° (Asia/Colombo). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.
Which 2026 Amavasyas in Jaffna are Somvati, Shani or Bhaumvati?
Named by the civil weekday in Jaffna (Asia/Colombo): 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 (2): Mon 2026/06/15, Mon 2026/11/09.
Do Amavasya dates in Jaffna differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (Asia/Colombo), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Jaffna may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Jaffna, not a generic India table.
