In the Hindu religion Somvati Amavas, or Amavasya, means "dark moon" and refers to the new moon phase in Sanskrit.
Somvaty Amavasya falls on a Monday. It's believed that fasting on this Amavasya wards off widowhood in women and ensures children in marriage. Washing in a holy river on this day is believed to make a person free from illness. Silence observed throughout the day is considered productive, and donations are to be made to poor children.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
