What is Amavaysa?

Amavaysa is one of the most important and significant periods of the year, despite being the darkest day of the month. Hindu believers all over India perform a variety of significant rituals on this day. In the Hindu calendar, Amavasya (Hindi: अमवस्या, Malayalam: അമാവാസി, Tamil: அமாவாசை, Telugu: అమావాస్৯, Gujarati: અમાવ৾৯৾), or No Moon Day or New Moon Day, is a significant tithi. Amavasya is the lunar month in the Hindu calendar with the least amount of moon visible in the sky. Amavasya happens once a month, and there are twelve of these days without the moon in a year. Additionally, the lunar month’s bright fortnight, or Shukla Paksha, begins on this day.

The 3 most significant amavasyas


Mauni Amavasya 2025 / मौनी अमावस्या 2025Mauni Amavasya 2025

Mauni Amavasya, or Krishna Paksha Amavasya, occurs in the month of Magha and is considered the most significant amavasya. On Mauni Amavasya Day, the Ganges, the most sacred river in Hinduism, is reported to change its water into Amrit, or nectar. People flock from all across the country to the Ganges ghats to bathe in holy water because of this belief. Why is Mauni Amavasya important? As the name says, Hindus observe silence on this day. The Sanatan Hindu religious system regards “mauna,” or silence, or not speaking a word, as a vital part of spiritual discipline. The term “mauni” comes from the Sanskrit phrase “muni,” which refers to a “sanyasi” (saint) who respects silence. The definition of “mauna” is to achieve oneness by inner self-connection, which can only be accomplished through peaceful observation. According to renowned Hindu sage, and scholar Sri Adi Shankaracharya, one of the three essential traits of a saint is “mauna.” On this day, many devotees practice one day of mauna vrat, during which they abstain from speaking. The Rituals of Mauni Amavasya Magh, a Hindu month, is thought to be the best time of year for abstinence and spiritual enlightenment. The following are the customs that devotees observe on the day of Mauni Amavasya:
  • Get up early to take a dawn bath in the Ganges or any other holy river
  • If one is unable to visit any pilgrimage places, a small amount of Gangajal can be added to bath water.
  • This is the day that Brahma Dev devotees adore him and chant the “Gayatri mantra.”
  • After taking a bath, devotees meditate to find inner peace.
  • Do not to engage in any inappropriate behaviour.
  • The practice of refraining from speaking during the day, known as “mauna vrat,” is also observed by many followers.
  • One must be quiet till the puja is over if they are unable to observe mauna vrat for the full day.
  • Thousands of Hindu devotees meditate after taking a bath in Prayag’s sangam.
  • A lot of people also give tarpan to their ancestors. They beg for forgiveness and their blessings. It is thought to be the best day for the puja of Pitru Dosh Nivaran. folks feed the dog, crow, cow, and sick folks on this day.
  • It is a big day for charity, too. On this day, people donate to the poors – food, clothes, and other essentials.

Mahalaya Amavasya 2025

Another name for Mahalaya is Sarva Pitra Amavasya. It is celebrated by Sanatan Hindus one day prior to navaratri. It signifies the conclusion of Pitru Paksha and the start of Devi Paksha. Sarvapitri Amavasya, also called Mahalaya Amavasya, is the final day of the Pitru Paksha. That is Pitru Paksha’s most significant day. Our ancestors from Pitru Loka, which is situated between heaven and hell, are said to visit and remain with us at this period. Story of Mahalaya Trimurti “Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh” prayed to Maa Durga on this day, requesting that she contain Mahishasura. Neither God nor man could defeat the demon Mahisasura because of Vardaan (Boon). They were all forced to leave after mahisasur took over Deva Lok and attacked Devatas. They prayed to Maa Adi Shakti to protect them. Mahisasura and Maa Durga engaged in combat for nine days. She killed him on the tenth day. Devotees pray to the goddess for ten days since it is believed that during these days, Maa comes to see her people on earth. Traditional Bengali bhajans such as “Bajlo Tomar Alor Benu” and “Jago Tumi Jago” are sung to ask Maa to come to earth. Why is Mahalaya Amavasya important? There are unique advantages to fasting on this day. Several Puranas, including the Agni Purana, Matsya, Vayu, Garuda, and Markandeya, discuss its importance. According to scriptures, a person must pay back three different types of Rinas (debts) during his life. They owe an obligation to Purvaj, Guru, and God. It is regarded as a day of good deeds and kindness. It aids in achieving mental tranquillity and letting go of previous karma. It also grants money, health, and pleasure. Mahalaya puja drives negative energy and demonic spirits out of a person’s home. An individual’s bond with the past is strengthened as they pray and respect their ancestors on this day.

Somvati Amavasya 2025 / सोमवती अमावस्या 2025

Somvati Amavasya 2025 Somvati Amavasya has a special importance in Hinduism. When Amavasya happens on a Monday, it is known as Somvati Amavasya, which is devoted to Bhagwan Shiva. Fasting on this day is thought to fend off life’s troubles while increasing happiness and wealth. Somvati Amavasya occurs only 2-3 times every year. Why is Somvati Amavasya important? The peepal tree, believed to be the residence of Bhagwan Vishnu, is celebrated at Somvati Amavasya. Rituals performed beneath Peepal invoke Bhagwan Vishnu’s blessings. According to astrology, rituals, and pujas on Somvati Amavasya can assist to reduce the bad effects and difficulties caused by Kaal Sarp Dosh in one’s horoscope. On this day, people traditionally do Pitru Dosha puja for their ancestors, which includes Tarpana and Pinda Danam. On this day, individuals observe the Aswath Pradakshina Vrat, a fast that is considered exceedingly fortunate. Katha of Somvati Amavasya There once was an elderly Brahmin father who was unable to find a partner for his lovely daughter. A well-known rishi told him that a issuea had hindered his daughter’s marriage. To get rid of that issuea, the rishi advised him to have his daughter serve a washerwoman named “Sona.” The girl followed Rishi’s advice and rose early each morning to go to Sona’s house and perform all the household work before anyone else woke up. Sona was puzzled why the woman was doing their housework. They question the girl why she’s doing all this. After learning about the girl’s problems, Sona was impressed by her dedication and blessed her by applying vermillion (sindoor) to her forehead. Soon after, Sona’s spouse passed away. Sona went to a peepal tree to offer prayers for her spouse. Having nothing to offer, she took up a brick and made 108 complete circles around the peepal tree in fervent prayer. Lord Shiva and Vishnu were moved by her devotion, and they blessed her and revived her husband. The Puja Vidhi of Somvati Amavasya To do the Puja on Somvati Amavasya, follow these instructions:
  •  On the day of Somvati Amavasya, get up early and go for a bath in a sacred river to cleanse your body and spirit.
  • Recite the Gayatri mantra and ask for blessings while you are in the water.
  • The worship of the peepal tree is the most important Somvati Amavasya ritual. Women assemble, tie a sacred thread steeped in turmeric to the tree, and then do Parikrama, which entails circling the tree 108 times while holding the thread.
  • At the base of the peepal tree, offer rice, flowers, milk, curd, and tulsi as a sacred gift to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, who are thought to reside there.
  • Visiting a Shiva temple and offering milk and water to the Shivlinga is considered auspicious during Somvati Amavasya, which falls on Monday.
  • Married women fast on Somvati Amavasya to ensure their husbands’ safety and wellbeing.
