What Is Amavasya?
Amavasya is the new moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar. It occurs when the Moon is not visible or is at the end of its lunar cycle.
Amavasya has an important place in Hindu religious traditions. Depending on the region and family tradition, people may use the day for fasting, meditation, charity, prayers and Pitru-related rituals.
Amavasya is also written as Amavas, Amavasai, Amavasya or Amaavasya in different languages and regions.
What to Do on Amavasya?
There is no single ritual that every family must follow. Amavasya traditions vary across India. A simple observance may include:
- Take a bath in the morning and wear clean clothes.
- Clean the Puja area and light a diya.
- Offer prayers to your preferred deity.
- Observe Amavasya Vrat if fasting is part of your tradition.
- Offer food or other donations to people in need.
- Remember ancestors and perform Pitru-related rituals when appropriate.
- Spend some time in prayer, meditation or reading religious texts.
- Complete the day’s observance according to your family or regional tradition.
For specific rituals such as Shraddha or Tarpan, the appropriate date and time should be checked separately.
Amavasya Vrat and Fasting Rules
Amavasya fasting is followed by many devotees, but the exact method differs between families and regions.
Some people observe a complete fast, while others take fruits, milk or permitted fasting foods. Others may simply avoid certain foods and spend the day in prayer.
If you are observing Amavasya Vrat, a simple traditional routine can be:
- Take a morning bath.
- Make a simple Sankalp for the fast.
- Light a diya and offer prayers.
- Follow the fasting food rules used by your family.
- Avoid unnecessary arguments or distractions.
- Spend time in prayer or meditation.
- Perform charity according to your ability.
- Complete the fast according to your tradition.
The fasting date should not automatically be assumed from the astronomical new moon date. Amavasya Vrat and other religious observances are determined using Panchang and Tithi rules.
Somvati Amavasya 2027
Somvati Amavasya is the Amavasya that falls on a Monday.
In 2027, the supplied Bhubaneswar calendar data shows:
| Date | Amavasya | Day |
| March 8, 2027 | Phalguna Amavasya | Monday |
| August 2, 2027 | Shravana Amavasya | Monday |
| December 27, 2027 | Pausha Amavasya | Monday |
Somvati Amavasya is considered an important day for fasting, prayers and traditional religious observances.
Shani Amavasya 2027
Shani Amavasya refers to Amavasya falling on a Saturday.
In 2027, Magha Amavasya falls on Saturday, February 6, making it a Shani Amavasya.
Devotees who follow Shani-related traditions may offer prayers to Shani Dev and perform other customary rituals on this day.
Amavasya and Pitru Rituals
Amavasya is traditionally considered an important time for remembering ancestors. Depending on family tradition, people may perform Tarpan, Shraddha or other Pitru-related rituals.
However, not every Amavasya observance is identical. Some ancestor rituals have specific Tithi, location and timing requirements.
If you are planning an important Shraddha or Pitru ceremony, check the local Panchang and prescribed ritual timing rather than relying only on the general Amavasya date.
Amavasya and Diwali
One of the best-known Amavasya observances is Kartika Amavasya, which is associated with Diwali in many Hindu traditions.
In 2027, Kartika Amavasya falls on October 29, Friday, according to the supplied Bhubaneswar data.
Diwali-related rituals have their own rules for selecting the appropriate date and Lakshmi Puja Muhurat, so the Amavasya date should not be treated as the Puja Muhurat itself.
Amavasya Tithi vs New Moon Date
The terms Amavasya and new moon are related, but they are not always used in exactly the same way.
The astronomical new moon refers to the Moon’s lunar phase, while Amavasya Tithi is part of the Hindu lunisolar calendar system. A Tithi can begin or end at any time during a civil day.
For example, an Amavasya Tithi may begin on one evening and continue into the following morning. This is why a Panchang may show the Amavasya Tithi across two calendar dates.
For religious observances, the Tithi and relevant Panchang rules are more important than simply looking at the astronomical new moon date.
Are Amavasya Dates the Same Everywhere?
Not necessarily.
The exact beginning and ending time of Amavasya Tithi changes with location. Sunrise-based Panchang calculations can also affect the date selected for particular religious observances.
The timings on this page are presented for Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. If you live in another city, especially outside India, the Amavasya observance date may be different.
For this reason, always select your location before using an Amavasya date for an important ritual.
