In the Hindu lunar calendar, Amavasya is the new moon day that holds deep spiritual and religious significance. It is believed to be a powerful time for worship, meditation, and connecting with ancestors. In October 2025, Amavasya falls on 21st October (Tuesday), which is also known as Kartika Amavasya. This day is special because it coincides with Diwali Amavasya, a time when homes are illuminated with diyas, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped, and ancestors are remembered with devotion. People who don’t know the exact death date of their ancestors perform Pind Daan, Shradh, or Tarpan on Amavasya for their ancestors’ salvation.
