This guide includes the complete Masya calendar, the next Masya date, explanations of lunar tithis, and the significance of Masya in Sikh and other Indian traditions.
When Is the Next Masya in 2026?
As of 14 October 2026, the next Masya is in November 2026. The Amavasya tithi begins on Sunday, 8 November and ends on Monday, 9 November 2026. Depending on the Panchang convention, November 8 is listed as Darsha Amavasya and November 9 as Kartika Amavasya.
The final Masya of 2026 falls on Tuesday, 8 December 2026.
What Is Masya (Amavasya)?
Masya (ਮੱਸਿਆ), known as Amavasya (अमावस्या) in Hindi and Sanskrit, is the lunar phase when the Moon is positioned approximately between the Earth and the Sun. Its illuminated side faces away from Earth, making it generally invisible in the night sky.
In the traditional Indian lunar calendar, Amavasya is associated with the end of Krishna Paksha (Vadi / ਵਦੀ), the waning half of the lunar month.
The lunar cycle is traditionally divided into two pakshas:
- Krishna Paksha (Vadi / ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਪੱਖ / कृष्ण पक्ष): The waning half of the lunar month, extending from the full moon towards Amavasya.
- Shukla Paksha (Sudi / ਸ਼ੁਕਲ ਪੱਖ / शुक्ल पक्ष): The waxing half, extending from Amavasya towards the next full moon, or Puranmashi (Pooranmashi).
Each paksha contains 15 numbered lunar tithis. Amavasya is the concluding tithi of Krishna Paksha, while Puranmashi is the concluding tithi of Shukla Paksha.
Although lunar dates are observed in Punjabi and Indian calendar traditions, the Nanakshahi Calendar 2026 also provides month names and dates for Sikh historical events and commemorations.

of 09Masya 2026 and the Nanakshahi Calendar
The Nanakshahi Calendar uses Punjabi month names including Chetar, Vaisakh, Jeth, Harh, Sawan, Bhadon, Assu, Katak, Maghar, Poh, Magh and Phagun.
In 2026, the Nanakshahi year changes from Samvat 557 to Samvat 558 on 14 March 2026. Consequently, the March Masya belongs to Nanakshahi Samvat 558, rather than 557.
Masya itself is a lunar event, whereas Nanakshahi month dates are associated with the solar calendar system. The two may be displayed together for convenient reference, but they should not be treated as identical calendar calculations.
For other important dates, explore Sangrand Dates 2026, which mark the beginning of Punjabi solar months, and Puranmashi Dates 2026, which list the full moon observances. You can also consult the Desi Calendar for an overview of traditional Punjabi months.

of 09ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦੀਆਂ ਤਰੀਕਾਂ 2026 – ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਨਕਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਕੈਲੰਡਰ
ਸਾਲ 2026 ਦੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦੀਆਂ ਤਰੀਕਾਂ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਸੂਚੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਨਵਰੀ ਤੋਂ ਦਸੰਬਰ 2026 ਤੱਕ ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦੀਆਂ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਤਰੀਕਾਂ, ਵਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਨਾਨਕਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਮਹੀਨਿਆਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਤਰੀਕਾਂ ਦਰਜ ਹਨ।
ਮੱਸਿਆ ਚੰਦਰਮਾ ਦੀ ਉਹ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਹੈ ਜਦੋਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਤੋਂ ਚੰਦਰਮਾ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਆਮ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਦਿਖਾਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ। ਇਹ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਪੱਖ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
| ਮੱਸਿਆ 2026 | ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਤਰੀਕ ਅਤੇ ਵਾਰ | ਨਾਨਕਸ਼ਾਹੀ ਤਰੀਕ |
|---|---|---|
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਜਨਵਰੀ | 18 ਜਨਵਰੀ 2026, ਐਤਵਾਰ | 5 ਮਾਘ, ਸੰਮਤ 557 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਫ਼ਰਵਰੀ | 17 ਫ਼ਰਵਰੀ 2026, ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ | 6 ਫੱਗਣ, ਸੰਮਤ 557 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਮਾਰਚ | 18–19 ਮਾਰਚ 2026, ਬੁੱਧਵਾਰ–ਵੀਰਵਾਰ | 5–6 ਚੇਤਰ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ | 17 ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2026, ਸ਼ੁੱਕਰਵਾਰ | 4 ਵੈਸਾਖ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਮਈ | 16 ਮਈ 2026, ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ | 2 ਜੇਠ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਜੂਨ | 14–15 ਜੂਨ 2026, ਐਤਵਾਰ–ਸੋਮਵਾਰ | 1–2 ਹਾੜ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਜੁਲਾਈ | 14 ਜੁਲਾਈ 2026, ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ | 30 ਹਾੜ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਅਗਸਤ | 12 ਅਗਸਤ 2026, ਬੁੱਧਵਾਰ | 28 ਸਾਵਣ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਸਤੰਬਰ | 10–11 ਸਤੰਬਰ 2026, ਵੀਰਵਾਰ–ਸ਼ੁੱਕਰਵਾਰ | 25–26 ਭਾਦੋਂ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਅਕਤੂਬਰ | 10 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 2026, ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ | 24 ਅੱਸੂ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਨਵੰਬਰ | 8–9 ਨਵੰਬਰ 2026, ਐਤਵਾਰ–ਸੋਮਵਾਰ | 23–24 ਕੱਤਕ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
| ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦਸੰਬਰ | 8 ਦਸੰਬਰ 2026, ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ | 23 ਮੱਘਰ, ਸੰਮਤ 558 |
ਨੋਟ: ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦੀਆਂ ਤਿੱਥਾਂ ਦੋ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਈ ਦੋਵੇਂ ਤਰੀਕਾਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ ਹਨ। ਧਾਰਮਿਕ ਰੀਤ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਮੱਸਿਆ ਮਨਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਮੁੱਖ ਤਰੀਕ ਵੱਖਰੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ।
ਮੱਸਿਆ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਅਰਥ ਹੈ?
ਮੱਸਿਆ ਨੂੰ ਅਮਾਵਸਿਆ ਵੀ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਚੰਦਰ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਦੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਪੱਖ ਦੀ ਆਖ਼ਰੀ ਤਿੱਥ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਸ਼ੁਕਲ ਪੱਖ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਚੰਦਰਮਾ ਦੀ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਵਾਲਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਹੌਲੀ-ਹੌਲੀ ਵਧਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਪੂਰਨਮਾਸ਼ੀ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿਸੇ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਚੰਦਰ ਤਿੱਥ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਜਾਂ ਆਤਮਿਕ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤੀ ਦਾ ਸਾਧਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ। ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਮ-ਸਿਮਰਨ, ਸੱਚੇ ਜੀਵਨ, ਸੇਵਾ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਚੱਲਣ ਉੱਤੇ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ।

अमावस्या क्या होती है?
अमावस्या हिंदू चंद्र पंचांग में कृष्ण पक्ष की अंतिम तिथि होती है। इस समय चंद्रमा का प्रकाशित भाग पृथ्वी से सामान्यतः दिखाई नहीं देता। इसके बाद शुक्ल पक्ष शुरू होता है और चंद्रमा पूर्णिमा तक धीरे-धीरे बढ़ता हुआ दिखाई देता है।
अमावस्या को कई हिंदू परंपराओं में पूर्वजों के स्मरण, श्राद्ध, तर्पण और दान जैसे धार्मिक कार्यों से जोड़ा जाता है। अलग-अलग क्षेत्रों में अमावस्या के नाम और पालन की परंपराएँ भिन्न हो सकती हैं।

of 09Significance of Masya in Sikhism and Other Traditions
Masya in Sikhism
In Sikh philosophy, spiritual progress is not dependent on the special power of a new moon or full moon day. Gurbani places greater importance on remembrance of Waheguru, truthful living, humility, seva and following the Guru's teachings.
Although Masya and Puranmashi dates may appear in Punjabi and Sikh calendars, their inclusion does not mean that Sikh religious practice requires fasting or performing rituals specifically on these lunar days.
For Sikh religious observances, readers can consult the Nanakshahi Calendar 2026 and the relevant Gurpurab dates.
Amavasya in Hinduism
Amavasya has religious importance in several Hindu traditions. Depending on the region and the particular Amavasya, it may be associated with prayers, remembrance of ancestors, Shraddha, Tarpan, charity and fasting.
Specific observances are determined according to the relevant lunar tithi and traditional Panchang rules rather than the Gregorian date alone.
New Moon Observances in Buddhism and Jainism
Some Buddhist communities use lunar observance days, including new moon and full moon phases, for meditation, reflection and religious practice. Traditions and observance schedules differ among Buddhist schools.
In Jain traditions, lunar dates may also be relevant to fasting, religious discipline and community observances, although particular practices vary by sect and regional calendar.
New Moon and Lunar Calendar Traditions
The new moon marks an important stage in the lunar cycle. Many cultures use lunar phases to organize calendars, seasonal observances and community traditions. Its symbolic associations, however, should be distinguished from the astronomical event itself.
07
of 09Masya, Puranmashi and Sangrand – What Is the Difference?
| Calendar Event | Meaning | Calendar Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Masya (Amavasya) | New moon; the end of Krishna Paksha | Lunar tithi |
| Puranmashi (Purnima) | Full moon; the end of Shukla Paksha | Lunar tithi |
| Sangrand | Beginning of a traditional Punjabi solar month | Solar calendar |
Understanding this distinction makes it easier to read Punjabi calendars and identify why lunar and solar observances do not always fall on the same dates from year to year.

3. How many Masya dates are there in 2026?
There are 12 monthly Amavasya periods in 2026, one corresponding to each Gregorian month. Certain Amavasya tithis extend across two consecutive civil dates. The year also includes an Adhika lunar month, which affects traditional month naming.

5. When is the last Masya of 2026?
The last Masya of 2026 falls on Tuesday, 8 December 2026. It is associated with the Margashirsha Amavasya period in the Hindu lunar calendar.
6. What is the difference between Masya and Puranmashi?
Masya (Amavasya) marks the new moon and the end of Krishna Paksha, whereas Puranmashi (Purnima) marks the full moon and the end of Shukla Paksha. Both are lunar tithis, unlike Sangrand, which is associated with a solar month transition. See the complete Puranmashi dates for comparison.
7. Is Masya a religiously important day in Sikhism?
Sikh teachings do not assign automatic spiritual merit to Masya or other lunar dates. Gurbani emphasizes Naam Simran, truthful conduct, humility and seva rather than the belief that particular lunar phases themselves bring spiritual benefits. Masya can nevertheless appear in Punjabi calendars for date reference.
8. What is the difference between the Nanakshahi and Bikrami calendars?
The Nanakshahi calendar is a Sikh calendar organized around solar months, while the traditional Bikrami calendar incorporates solar and lunar calculations. Therefore, the Nanakshahi date corresponding to Masya is not the same thing as the lunar Amavasya tithi. See the Nanakshahi Calendar 2026 for further details.
