About Amavasya
Amavasya is the term used in the Hindu lunar calendar to refer to the new moon day, when the moon is not visible in the sky. This day marks the end of the waning moon phase and the beginning of the waxing phase. Amavasya is considered a significant day in Hindu culture, often associated with spiritual practices, rituals, and religious observances.
Many Hindus believe that Amavasya is a day of introspection, fasting, and honoring ancestors. Special rituals known as Pitru Tarpan are performed to pay homage to deceased family members, seeking their blessings and peace for their souls. Additionally, Amavasya is believed to be an auspicious day for performing certain religious rituals and starting new ventures, as the new moon symbolizes new beginnings.
Some Amavasyas hold particular significance, such as Diwali Amavasya (during the festival of lights) and Maha Shivaratri Amavasya (dedicated to Lord Shiva). However, in certain regions and beliefs, Amavasya is also considered an inauspicious time for major life events like weddings or housewarming ceremonies due to the absence of moonlight.
Overall, Amavasya is a day of spiritual significance, blending rituals, reflection, and reverence for ancestors in Hindu tradition.
