How are Amavasya dates calculated for Melbourne?
Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Melbourne falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for -37.814°, 144.9633° (Australia/Melbourne). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.
Which 2026 Amavasyas in Melbourne are Somvati, Shani or Bhaumvati?
Named by the civil weekday in Melbourne (Australia/Melbourne): Bhaumvati (2): Tue 2026/02/17, Tue 2026/07/14; Shani (2): Sat 2026/05/16, Sat 2026/10/10; Somvati (2): Mon 2026/06/15, Mon 2026/11/09.
Do Amavasya dates in Melbourne differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (Australia/Melbourne), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Melbourne may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day.
