What Amavasya is
The new moon - the close of the dark fortnight. Kept for ancestral remembrance (tarpan, shraddha) and for rest before a new cycle rather than for beginnings.
How the date is fixed
Amavasya falls once a lunar month. The observance day is the one on which that tithi is running at sunrise - the conventional rule - which is why it moves against the Gregorian calendar each month rather than landing on a fixed date.
