Amavasya is the no-moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar, which usually falls once a month. On this day, the moon is not visible and it's considered as the darkest night of the month. It is believed that during Amavasya, the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest, which makes it an ideal time to perform rituals for the ancestors and deceased loved ones. People often visit temples dedicated to Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu, or perform pinda-daan, a ritual for the ancestors, on this day. Amavasya is also considered an auspicious day for starting new ventures, buying property, or undertaking a journey. Some people also fast on this day to gain blessings from their ancestors and Gods. In some Hindu traditions, Amavasya is also considered a day of great spiritual significance and many people perform special puja, or worship, on this day. Many people also offer food to the poor, or feed the cows, as it is believed that such acts of charity are especially beneficial on Amavasya. In some regions, there are specific Amavasya that are considered more auspicious than others, such as the Amavasya that falls during the month of Magha, which is known as Maghi Amavasya, or the Amavasya that falls during the month of Kartik, which is known as Kartik Amavasya.
Magh Amavasya, also known as Maghi Amavasya, is a specific Amavasya that falls during the month of Magha in the Hindu lunar calendar. This Amavasya is considered particularly auspicious and is believed to be an ideal time for performing rituals for the ancestors and deceased loved ones. Many people visit temples dedicated to Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu, or perform pinda-daan, a ritual for the ancestors, on this day.
It is also believed that performing charity and good deeds on Maghi Amavasya brings greater benefits than doing so on any other day. Many people also observe fasts on this day and offer food to the poor, or feed cows, as acts of charity.
In addition to its spiritual significance, Maghi Amavasya is also an important day in the agricultural calendar. It is considered to be the ideal time for planting new crops and starting agricultural activities.
Many people also take a dip in holy rivers like Ganges, Yamuna and Godavari rivers on this day to purify their souls and ward off their sins. It is one of the most auspicious days for Hindus.
