Mahalaya Amavasya 2026
ಮಹಾಲಯ ಅಮಾವಾಸ್ಯೆ · महालय अमावस्या
Bhadrapada Krishna Amavasya (lunar)
Mahalaya Amavasya is on Sat 10 October 2026
Mahalaya Amavasya is observed on Bhadrapada Krishna Amavasya. A tithi is a lunar day, not a fixed date in the Gregorian year, so the observance moves — this one is resolved for Bengaluru by the same panchang engine the calendar and the app read, on every request, rather than written down once.

Sunrise, and every window derived from it, differs by city — open the panchang calendar for the day's tithi, nakshatra and Rahu Kalam.
The ceremony families book for Mahalaya Amavasya
Water and sesame offerings to ancestors, performed during Mahalaya Paksha, on Amavasya, or on solar transitions. A shorter rite than full shraddha and suitable for families away from their native place.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours is confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
