This Month's Amavasya: Khichadi Amavasya and Somavati Amavasya
Khichadi Amavasya
The new moon of Magha — the most crowded bathing day of the Magh Mela and Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj's Triveni Sangam. In Bihar and Purvanchal it is called Khichadi Amavasya because households cook and give away khichdi of rice, urad dal, sesame and jaggery as the day's main act of charity.
Somavati Amavasya
A new moon that lands on a Monday — Shiva's own weekday — is rare enough that Shaiva temples mark it with a special rite called Amavasya Soma Pradakshinam, circling the lingam in the half-circuit reserved for Shiva. Married women add a thread-tying parikrama around the peepal tree.
Which Day to Observe Amavasya
On Monday, 27 December 2027, Amavasya tithi is current at sunrise (07:11 AM IST, Ujjain).
It matters because the morning bath, tarpan and charity are done after sunrise.
How Amavasya is kept
- Bathe early, in a river if you can, or with a few drops of Ganga jal in the water.
- Those whose father has passed away offer tarpan with water and black sesame, calling each ancestor by name.
- Feed crows, a cow or a dog before the family meal, and give food, clothes or grain to someone in need.
- Offer water or milk to a Shivalinga and light a ghee or sesame oil lamp at the altar in the evening.
- A Monday Amavasya is Somvati Amavasya and a Saturday one Shani Amavasya, both sought out for ritual baths.
