Amavasya 2026: Date, Timings, Rituals and Significance
Amavasya, the New Moon, holds deep significance in Hinduism, primarily for honoring ancestors. While auspicious ceremonies are avoided, it's ideal for religious rituals like sacred bathing and ancestral prayers. Popular festivities include Mauni and Somvati Amavasya. Astrologically, it's a challenging period, but worshipping Lord Shiva and offering water to the moon can mitigate negative lunar influences.
