Why Somvati Amavasya matters
An Amavasya that falls on a Monday is Somvati Amavasya — rare enough that a year may have only one or two. Married women traditionally worship the peepal tree, circling it 108 times, and pray for their husband's long life; a holy dip, charity and pitru tarpan are also customary.
How the date is fixed
Somvati Amavasya is any Amavasya falling on a Monday. A lunar month is shorter than a solar one, so the Gregorian date moves every year — and because it depends on a weekday coinciding with the tithi, some years have more than one and some have none. The observance day follows which tithi is running at sunrise, which is why regional panchangs can differ by a day.
