An Amavasya that falls on a Monday is called Somvati Amavasya and on a Tuesday, Bhaumvati Amavasya — both considered especially auspicious.
How is pitru tarpan done on Amavasya?+
Amavasya is a traditional day for shraddha and tarpan — offering water (with sesame) and remembering departed ancestors, often by a river or at home facing south. Many observe it especially in Pitru Paksha. Rites vary by family and region.
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.
