Amavasi days in 2009 – Amavasya – the no moon day in Hindu calendar

Amavasi, or Amavasya, is known as the no moon day in traditional Hindu calendar. It is the darkest day in the Hindu month and also the last day in a month in the traditional Hindu calendars followed in Gujarat and Maharashtra. There are many Hindus who undertake a complete fast on Amavasi. Some Hindu communities only take a single meal on the day. The day is considered apt for doing Tarpan and Shradh for dead parents and other relatives. Here are the Amavasi dates in 2009.

when performing the monthly Tithi, (puja for the departed) on days of the amavyasa that begins on a date eg.17-oct-2009 and overlaps into the next day 18-oct-2009.. what is the standard and correct practice observed on when to perform the puja's.

abhilash said...

The usual process is to take the majority period. If the majority time of Amavas is on 17-Oct then it is taken for puja etc.
