Amavasya in January 2026 – Date, Timings, Significance & Powerful Pitru Remedies

Updated: 21 hours ago

What is Amavasya? Why It Is Spiritually Powerful

Amavasya (New Moon Day) is not an ordinary lunar date. In Sanatan Dharma, it is believed that on Amavasya, the veil between the living and the Pitru Lok becomes thinnest.

Our ancestors can receive offerings directly, bless our families, and remove unseen karmic obstacles.


This is why Amavasya is considered the most powerful day for:

  • Pitru Tarpan

  • Shraddh Karma

  • Pind Daan

  • Brahmin Bhojan

  • Donation & spiritual cleansing

Why January Amavasya Is Very Special

January Amavasya comes in Magha Month, which is one of the most sacred months for Pitru Karya.

It is believed that: A single Pind Daan done in Magha Amavasya gives the merit of 100 Shraddh.


This Amavasya carries intense spiritual energy and is extremely beneficial for:

  • Removing Pitru Dosh

  • Getting blessings for marriage & childbirth

  • Eliminating financial blockages

  • Healing ancestral karmic debts

Signs That Your Family Needs Pitru Puja

You must perform Pitru remedies if you observe:

  •  Repeated financial loss

  •  Delay in marriage

  •  Health issues without medical cause

  •  Family disputes

  •  No progress despite hard work

  •  Dreams about ancestors calling you


These are classic Pitru Dosh indications.


What Should Be Done on Amavasya

  • Pitru Tarpan

Offer water mixed with black sesame, barley & Ganga Jal to your ancestors.


  • Pind Daan

Offering rice balls symbolizes feeding your departed souls and liberating them from lower realms.


  • Brahmin Bhojan

Feeding Brahmins on this day brings direct blessings from ancestors.


  • Daan (Charity)

Why Varanasi Is the Best Place for Amavasya Rituals

Kashi is not just a city—it is Moksha Bhoomi.

Scriptures say:

A single Shraddh in Kashi gives the result of Shraddh done at all Teerthas.
