What is Amavasya?
Amavasya is the new moon tithi, the last day of the Krishna paksha. It is the most important day of the month for honouring ancestors with tarpan and shraddha, and many families avoid starting new ventures on it. Some Amavasyas carry special names: Mauni Amavasya in Magha, Hariyali Amavasya in Shravana, Mahalaya Amavasya at the end of Pitru Paksha, and Diwali in Kartika.
What are Somvati and Shani Amavasya?
An Amavasya that falls on a Monday is Somvati Amavasya, considered especially auspicious for a holy bath and for married women's prayers for their husbands. One on a Saturday is Shani Amavasya, when Shani Dev is worshipped. A Tuesday Amavasya is called Bhaumvati Amavasya.
Which month name does this list use?
This list uses the North Indian (purnimanta) month names, in which Amavasya falls in the middle of the month. In the amanta calendar of Gujarat, Maharashtra and South India the same Amavasya ends the previous month, so the Diwali Amavasya is Kartika Amavasya here and Ashwin Amavasya in the amanta calendar.
