The convergence of Amavasya and Monday, a day dedicated to Lord Shiva, amplifies the spiritual energy, making it an ideal occasion for performing religious rites and seeking divine blessings.\n<br><br>\nThis day holds special importance for performing rituals to honor ancestors, known as Pitru Tarpan. It is believed that offering prayers and performing rituals on Somvati Amavasya can alleviate Pitru Dosha (ancestral karmic debts) and bring peace to the souls of departed ancestors. Such practices are thought to bestow blessings upon the living descendants, ensuring prosperity and harmony in their lives. \n<br><br>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;When Amavasya falls on a Monday\n<br>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fasting on this day is said to grant longevity and marital bliss.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<b style=\"font-family:georgia; color:#00008b; font-size:15px; text-align:justify; text-decoration:none;\">\nDiwali Amavasya\n<\/b><br>\n<p style=\"font-family:georgia; color:black; font-size:14px; text-align:justify; text-decoration:none;\">\nDiwali, known as the &#8220;Festival of Lights,&#8221; is one of the most significant and widely celebrated festivals in Hinduism. Central to this celebration is the night of Amavasya, or the new moon, which holds profound spiritual and cultural importance. This moonless night symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.\n<br><br>\nAmavasya, the new moon day, is traditionally considered a time for introspection, ancestral worship, and spiritual practices. While generally associated with solemnity, the Amavasya during Diwali is viewed as auspicious, marking a time of joy, renewal, and divine blessings.\n<br><br>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;The most auspicious Amavasya, dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi.\n<br>\n &nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;Symbolizes victory of light over darkness.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/divinenewz.com\/blog\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/divinenewz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/diwali.jpg\" alt=\"Diwali Amavasya\" class=\"wp-image-2068\" title=\"Diwali Amavasya\"  width=\"592\" height=\"450\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"font-family:georgia; color:black; font-size:16px; color:black; text-decoration:none;\">\n<a name=\"DVA7five\" style=\"font-family:georgia; font-size:16px; color:#00008b; text-decoration:none;\">\n<b>DO&#8217;S ON AMAVASYA IN HINDUISM<\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<b style=\"font-family:georgia; color:#00008b; font-size:15px; text-align:justify; text-decoration:none;\">\ni.
