Rituals on Amavasya

Pitru Tarpan: The primary ritual on Amavasya is offering water (Tarpan) and Pind Daan to departed ancestors. This is performed at riverbanks or at home, facing south, using black sesame seeds, rice, and water. Bhadrapada Amavasya (Sarva Pitru Amavasya) is the most important — it covers Tarpan for all ancestors regardless of their death Tithi.

Somvati Amavasya: When Amavasya falls on Monday (Somvar), it is called Somvati Amavasya — considered highly auspicious for Shiva Puja, sacred bathing, and Peepal tree worship. Married women observe this for the long life of their husband.

What to avoid: Starting new ventures, travel, haircuts, and purchasing new items are traditionally avoided on Amavasya. However, spiritual practices — meditation, Japa, charity, and feeding the poor — are highly recommended.
