Why this date?· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: The new moon (Krishna Amavasya) of each month.
The dates listed are the days Amavasya is current at sunrise. Diwali's Lakshmi Puja follows its own rule and can fall on the evening before Kartik Amavasya.
Dates are calculated for New Delhi; elsewhere they can fall a day earlier or later. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima. How we calculate
About Amavasya· महत्व
Offering water and sesame to the ancestors (tarpan), feeding Brahmins and cows, and bathing in holy rivers are the main observances. Notable ones include Mauni Amavasya in Magha, Shani Jayanti in Jyeshtha, Hariyali Amavasya in Shravana, Sarva Pitru Amavasya at the end of Pitru Paksha in Ashwin, and the Kartik Amavasya of Diwali.
An Amavasya on a Monday is Somvati Amavasya, when married women walk around the peepal tree, and one on a Saturday is Shani Amavasya.
