Tamil Amavasai (also spelled Amavasya) refers to the new moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar. It holds significant spiritual and religious importance in Hindu culture. The term "Amavasai" is derived from Sanskrit, where "Ama" means "together" and "Vasya" means "to dwell," signifying the moon's alignment with the sun. Amavasai occurs when the moon is not visible in the sky due to its alignment with the sun, marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle.
It is considered an auspicious day for Offering prayers to ancestors (Pitru Tarpanam or Shraddha).Performing rituals to seek blessings for family and to alleviate ancestral karmas. Seeking spiritual growth, as it is believed that meditations and prayers are more effective on this day
People observe fasts and engage in charitable acts. Some undertake pilgrimages or visit sacred rivers for a holy dip. Special poojas are performed in temples, especially those dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Kali.
