Amavasya Tithi (अमावस्या)

Krishna Paksha

New moon day - dark moon, junction point between ending and beginning. Sacred time for ancestor worship (Pitru Tarpan) and introspection. Moon is invisible - energy is inward and subtle. Highly important for remembering departed souls and offering them peace. Special Amavasyas: Mauni Amavasya (silent fast), Somvati Amavasya (Monday + Amavasya), Diwali Amavasya (Lakshmi Puja). Avoid auspicious ceremonies, weddings, and joyful material events. Focus on remembering ancestors, charity to poor, and inner spiritual work. A day for endings, not beginnings.

Highly Favorable
Ancestor worship (Pitru Tarpan)
Introspection
Charity to needy

Best Avoided

Revati Nakshatra (रेवती)

Lord: mercury • Deity: Pushan

Last nakshatra ruled by Mercury, deity Pushan (nourisher). Gentle and nourishing. Excellent for travel, completion of journeys, and nurturing activities. Highly auspicious.
