Amavasya Tithi
In India, a very significant event takes place on the day known as Amavasya, which is also known as the day of the new moon. It is a day that is significant on a spiritual level, and people all around the country celebrate it in their own special ways to honor its significance.
What exactly is meant by the term “Amavasya”?
Amavasya is a day that has traditionally been associated with strong religious implications in India. It is a day that is commemorated as a day of devotion and prayer by a big number of Hindus since it is regarded to be a day that possesses an immense amount of power and potential. This day falls on the full moon. On this day, people travel in large numbers to temples in order to pray and beseech the gods for their favors. They present their supplications to the deities that reside there. In addition to this, they participate in a number of rituals, such as reciting mantras and presenting food offerings to the gods. Individuals in various parts of India observe Amavasya as a day of fasting; on this day, they abstain from ingesting any food or drink throughout the length of the day. Amavasya is a day that symbolizes the absence of the moon.
What is the religious significance of the Amavasya?
In addition to the religious significance of the Amavasya festival, it is also observed by adhering to long-standing customs associated with the holiday. People in many parts of India may burn lamps and candles as a means of warding off malevolent spirits and bringing in wealth and prosperity. This practice takes place across the country. In addition to this, they take part in ceremonies that are known as puja, in which they pay reverence to the gods and goddesses. On this particular day, certain communities observe a religious rite in which members cleanse themselves by immersing themselves in rivers or lakes in the expectation that doing so will bring them financial success.

There are also local celebrations of Amavasya that take place in a number of cities around India. These celebrations feature a wide range of activities, such as fireworks shows and cultural shows. These celebrations take place on an annual basis in some localities. In addition, Amavasya is a wonderful day for getting together with loved ones, whether they be friends or relatives. People get together to enjoy the day with their friends and families as well as to spend time with one another. While they are sharing gifts and listening to one another’s stories, they discuss what’s going on in their lives. As a result, this helps to build a sense of community and adds to the consolidation of the links that bind individuals together.

What is the meaning of Amavasya?
Astronomically, the new moon (Amavasya) is the day when the sun and moon fall in the same straight line. On this day, the radiant light is completely absorbed by the backside of the Moon, which cannot be seen from Earth. So on this day the front side of the moon facing the earth will be without light. The Amavasya refers to the lunar phase of the new moon. Here is the full list of 2022 new moon dates. There are 16 new moon dates this year.
