Overview of Amavasya in Hindu Calendar
Amavasya, also known as New Moon Day, is one of the most important tithis in the Hindu Panchang. It marks the beginning of the lunar month’s Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the Moon). On this day, the Moon is not visible, and devotees perform various spiritual and ancestral rituals.
Amavasya is considered highly auspicious for:
- Performing Pitru Tarpan and Shraddha rituals
- Conducting Kalasarpa Dosha Puja
- Observing Vrat and charity
- Seeking ancestral blessings
Amavasya that falls on a Monday is known as Somvati Amavasya, and when it falls on a Saturday, it is called Shani Amavasya—both are considered especially powerful for spiritual practices.
