This year, Bhadrapad Amavasya is considered highly auspicious. However, there has been some confusion over whether it will fall on August 22 or August 23.

According to the Hindu calendar, Bhadrapad Amavasya will begin on August 22, 2025, at 11:55 AM and end on August 23, 2025, at 11:35 AM. Since the Amavasya tithi will be valid during sunrise on August 23, the main observance will take place on that day. Falling on a Saturday, it will also be observed as Shanischari Amavasya. It is believed that rituals and donations performed on this day bring multiplied blessings and merit.

Five Auspicious Practices On Amavasya

  • Take a holy dip in a river, pond, or reservoir at dawn, offer water to the Sun God, and flow sesame seeds into the running water.
  • In the evening, light a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree, remember your ancestors, and circumambulate the tree seven times.
  • Perform pind daan on the riverbank for the peace of ancestors’ souls and offer charity or donations to the needy or Brahmins.
  • Conduct special rituals for Kaal Sarp Dosh (a planetary affliction) to seek relief.
  • Worship Lord Shani on this day, as Amavasya coincides with Saturday, to pacify Saturn’s influence.
