Amavasya is the new moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar, considered highly significant for spiritual practices and rituals.
Amavasya marks the day when the moon is not visible, symbolizing renewal and introspection. It is a time for performing ancestral rites (Shradh) and spiritual observances to honor departed souls. Many Hindus fast and meditate on this day, believing that rituals done on Amavasya bring peace to ancestors and remove obstacles.
