Mumbai: In Hinduism, the Amavasya (New Moon) is a very important date due to its significance for the worship of ancestors (Pitru). Throughout the year, there are twelve Amavasyas, each with its own significance. Jyeshtha Amavasya is particularly significant astrologically because it coincides with Shani Jayanti and Vat Savitri Vrat.
Jyeshtha Amavasya 2024 Date and Auspicious Timings
In accordance with the Hindu calendar, Jyeshtha Amavasya will begin at 7:54 PM on June 5, 2024, and end at 6:07 PM on June 6, 2024. Jyeshtha Amavasya will be observed on June 6, 2024, according to the Panchang.
What to do on Jyeshtha Amavasya?
In the early morning hours of Amavasya, it is customary to wake up and take a holy bath, preferably in the Ganges River. Devotees offer water (Arghya) to the Sun God after bathing. This day is dedicated to performing Tarpan (offerings to ancestors) for their peace of mind.
A fast is also observed by many to honour their ancestors.
Also, devotees worship Goddess Ganga and donate to the needy, which is considered auspicious. On this day, it is crucial to maintain purity and abstain from tamasic (harmful) activities.
Jyeshtha Amavasya is considered particularly favourable for religious practices, and worshipping Lord Shiva on this day is highly beneficial.
