July 2024 Amavasya: Date, time, rituals and remedies

Mumbai: Ashadha Amavasya holds great importance in Hindu tradition, marked by rituals like bathing, offering Tarpan to ancestors, and charitable donations. Amavasya, which falls on the 15th day of the Krishna Paksha each month, is particularly significant during the month of Ashadha.

To accurately identify the date of Ashadha Amavasya, it is essential to know the start and end times of the Tithi, as well as the sunrise time. According to the Hindu calendar, the Tithi of Ashadha Amavasya begins at 4:57 AM on July 5, with sunrise at 5:29 AM the same day. The Tithi concludes at 4:26 AM on July 6, with sunrise at 5:29 AM on that day.

Given that the Tithi is active during sunrise on July 5 and ends before sunrise on July 6, Ashadha Amavasya will be observed on Friday, July 5. This is considered the correct date for this observance.

This year’s Ashadha Amavasya falls under the auspicious Dhruva Yoga and Ardra Nakshatra. Dhruva Yoga begins in the morning of July 5 and continues until 3:49 AM on July 6, while Ardra Nakshatra lasts from the morning of July 5 until 4:06 AM on July 6.

A brief yet auspicious Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga occurs during Ashadha Amavasya this year. This yoga, known for its success-promoting qualities, will be present on July 6 from 4:06 AM to 5:29 AM. The Amavasya Tithi ends at 4:26 AM on July 6, making the duration of this yoga only 20 minutes.

Remedies and Rituals for Ashadha Amavasya

Bathing and Charity: On Ashadha Amavasya, it is considered highly meritorious to bathe in a sacred river. After the bath, it is recommended to donate grains, clothes, fruits, and a vessel according to one’s ability. This act is believed to bring spiritual merit and enhance happiness and prosperity.
Tarpan for Ancestors: After the morning bath on Ashadha Amavasya, remember your ancestors and perform Tarpan with Kusha grass, black sesame seeds, and white flowers. Satisfying your ancestors through Tarpan is believed to bring their blessings, leading to increased wealth, happiness, and prosperity.
