Mumbai: In Hindu tradition, Amavasya—the new moon day—is considered deeply auspicious and spiritually significant. Occurring once every month, each Amavasya carries its own religious importance. Devotees believe that performing rituals like bathing in sacred rivers, making donations, and praying on this day can help attain divine blessings and positive karmic rewards.
Currently, the holy month of Vaishakh is underway—a month believed to be especially dear to Lord Vishnu. The new moon day during this period, known as Vaishakh Amavasya, holds even greater religious value. Worshipping Lord Vishnu, offering food and clothes to the needy, and donating money on this day are considered highly meritorious acts. Here’s all you need to know about Vaishakh Amavasya in 2025.
When is Vaishakh Amavasya in 2025?
As per the Vedic Panchang, Vaishakh Amavasya in 2025 begins on 27 April at 4:49 AM and continues until 1:00 AM on 28 April. Since the Udaya Tithi (the date at sunrise) falls on 27 April, this is when Vaishakh Amavasya will be observed.
What to Do on Vaishakh Amavasya?
On this sacred day, devotees are encouraged to wake up before sunrise and take a holy bath, ideally in a river or at home with devotion. Wearing green-coloured sattvic clothes is considered spiritually uplifting. After taking a vow of fasting, one should offer tarpan—ritual offerings made in honour of ancestors.
Worship of Lord Vishnu should be performed with devotion, chanting Vishnu mantras. Offering donations to Brahmins and assisting the needy are seen as virtuous deeds on this day.
