Having said that, Thai Amavasai, a new moon day, emerges as an exceptionally auspicious time to engage with ancestors and seek their blessings.

Significance of Thai Amavasai

Thai Amavasai is the first Amavasai who falls in the sacred Uttarayana period and hence, is held as even more auspicious for performing various rituals dedicated to the ancestors. Non-performance of such austerities is believed to bring us bad luck and can become the cause for Pitru Dosha or ancestral curse. People, therefore, choose this occasion for performing ceremonies to propitiate the departed souls and receive their blessings.
