Is Aashadh July 2026 Amavasya Somvati Amavas? Should you keep fast on July 13 or 14? Check vrat, snan, donation date & time

Amavasya July kab ki hai? July Amavasya tithi begins on Monday, July 13, and extends into Tuesday, July 14. Devotees are confused about observing Somvati Amavasya due to this unusual two-day spread. Shastric tradition dictates fasting on Monday, July 13, as the tithi starts before sunset. Bathing and ancestral rites will technically occur on Tuesday, July 14, under Bhaumvati Amavasya. This rare timing creates a dual observance for the new moon day.
