Frequently Asked Questions

What is done on Amavasya?▼

Amavasya is the chief day for pitru tarpan and shraddha — offerings to the ancestors — along with holy bathing, charity, and worship of Lord Shiva and the Goddess. Many observe a fast and avoid beginning new ventures on the no-moon day.

Somvati Amavasya is an Amavasya that falls on a Monday (Somvar). It is considered especially auspicious — married women keep a fast for the long life of their husband, and devotees worship Lord Shiva and the Peepal tree.
