About Amavasya
Amavasya is the new-moon day that ends every lunar month. It is the traditional day for tarpan and shraddha — offerings of water, sesame and food to one's ancestors — and many families also treat it as a day of quiet and charity. New ventures are generally avoided on Amavasya, with notable regional exceptions such as the Deepavali Amavasya, whose night is the holiest of the year for Lakshmi worship.
