Amavasya 2027 Dates: Complete Calendar for Ancestral Worship (Pitru Tarpan)
The Significance of Amavasya in 2027
In the Hindu calendar, Amavasya refers to the new moon night. It marks the transition from the waning phase of the moon (Krishna Paksha) to the waxing phase (Shukla Paksha). Astrologically and spiritually, Amavasya is considered a highly charged day. It is the time when the portal between the earthly realm and the ancestral realm (Pitru Loka) is believed to be thinnest, making it the most auspicious day for performing ancestral rituals like Tarpan, Pinda Daan, and Shraddh.
