Today’s Hindu calendar marks Phalguna Amavasya, a spiritually significant new moon day observed across India. This lunar phase is traditionally associated with introspection, ancestor remembrance rituals (known as Tarpan) and the belief that spiritual activities performed on Amavasya carry amplified merit. 

According to cultural and astrological traditions, families often visit riverbanks and sacred water bodies to honour departed ancestors through ceremonial offerings. Foods prepared without onion or garlic are shared, while many devotees also observe fasting or meditate to seek mental clarity. 

In several regions, Phalguna Amavasya has local names and associated practices  from cleaning and decorating homes to special temple prayers that emphasise purification and renewal. It is seen not merely as a day of austerity but as an opportunity for emotional grounding and familial bonding. 

Astrologers associate the new moon with letting go of old patterns and setting intentions for the month ahead. In spiritual communities, this period often triggers group chanting, charitable giving, and mindful reflection on life goals. 

Amavasya days also hold agricultural significance in some farming communities, marking planning phases for sowing crops or seeking divine blessings for the coming season. Regardless of caste, region or belief intensity, the day’s rituals continue to play an integral role in India’s rich tapestry of cultural observances.
