In the Hindu religion 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 supposed to make a person free from illness. Silence observed through the day is considered productive and donations are to be made to poor children.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian Civil Calendar, which is the official holiday calendar in India, the largest Hindu nation. 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, as well as the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar, vary widely from one calendar to the next. Use our dates as a baseline. Find out which of the dozens of Hindu calendars is used in the region you live or plan to visit if you are looking to attend or witness a specific observance.
