How many Amavasya dates are there in 2017?

12: the first is Magha Amavasya on Friday, 27 January 2017, the last Pausha Amavasya on 18 December 2017.

2017 में कितनी अमावस्या हैं?

12 — पहली माघ अमावस्या (27 जनवरी 2017), अंतिम पौष अमावस्या (18 दिसंबर 2017)।

Why can the Amavasya date differ between cities?

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, and the tithi at sunrise (or at moonrise, pradosh or the ingress, as the vrat needs) names the day. Sunrise differs by place, so a city far from Delhi can keep the vrat a day apart; the month calendar gives your city's dates.
