Amavasya Seva
Ama:va:sya, the New Moon Day, holds profound spiritual significance in our tradition. It marks the time when the moon is not visible, symbolizing a period of introspection, purification, and honoring our ancestors. This sacred day is considered highly auspicious for performing rituals, prayers, and acts of charity to seek blessings for oneself and one’s departed ancestors.
