Mumbai: Ashadha Amavasya holds great importance in Hindu tradition and involves rituals such as bathing, offering of tarpan to ancestors, charitable donations etc. Falling on the 15th day of every Krishna Paksha, Amavasya is especially significant in the month of Ashadha.
To pinpoint the date of Ashadha Amavasya, it is essential to know the start and end time of the tithi and the sunrise time. As per the Hindu calendar, the tithi of Ashadha Amavasya begins at 4:57 AM on July 5th with sunrise at 5:29 AM on the same day. The tithi ends at 4:26 AM on July 6th with sunrise at 5:29 AM on the same day.
Since Tithi begins during sunrise on July 5 and ends before sunrise on July 6, Ashadha Amavasya will be celebrated on Friday, July 5. This is considered to be the correct date for the event.
This year’s Ashadha Amavasya falls under the auspicious Dhruva Yoga and Ardra Nakshatra. Dhruva Yoga begins on the morning of July 5 and will continue till 3:49 am on July 6. Meanwhile, Ardra Nakshatra will last from the morning of July 5 till 4:06 am on July 6.
A short yet auspicious Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga will be performed during Ashadha Amavasya this year. Known for its success-enhancing properties, this yoga will be performed from 4:06 am to 5:29 am on July 6. As Amavasya Tithi ends at 4:26 am on July 6, this yoga will take just 20 minutes.
Ashadha Amavasya Treatments and Rituals
- Bathing and Charity: During Ashadha Amavasya, bathing in the sacred river is considered very meritorious. After bathing, one is encouraged to donate grains, clothes, fruits, vessels etc. according to one’s ability. This act is believed to bring spiritual merit and increase happiness and prosperity.
- Tarpan for ancestors: After morning bath on Ashadha Amavasya, people remember their ancestors and make tarpan with kusha grass, black sesame seeds and white flowers. It is believed that satisfying ancestors through tarpan will bring their blessings and lead to an increase in wealth, happiness and prosperity.
Ashadha Amavasya is an effective day for spiritual practices and seeking blessings from ancestors. By performing these rituals diligently, you can bring about positive changes and fulfillment in your life.
