What should you not do on Amavasya?+
By custom, some avoid starting major new ventures or auspicious ceremonies (weddings, housewarming) on the no-moon day, preferring it for remembrance, charity and quiet worship. These are traditional beliefs; for a personal muhurat, consult an astrologer.
Which is the most important Amavasya?+
Mauni Amavasya (Magha), observed in silence with a holy dip, and Mahalaya Amavasya (Ashwin), which closes Pitru Paksha, are the most significant. Somvati Amavasya is prized for its rarity.
