What is Amavasya?

Amavasya is the new moon day, when the Moon is not visible in the sky. It falls at the end of the Krishna (waning) fortnight each lunar month. It is traditionally a day for remembering ancestors through Shraddh and Tarpan, for fasting and introspection, and for beginning spiritual practices. Dates here are computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa; confirm exact timings with your local panchang.
