In Hinduism, the Amavasya (new moon) day holds special significance, especially when it falls in the month of Paush. Paush Amavasya is considered dedicated to ancestors, and bathing, charity, offerings to ancestors (Tarpana), and chanting mantras are considered particularly important on this day. According to religious beliefs, ancestors descend to Earth on Amavasya and, pleased with the actions of their descendants, bestow blessings of happiness and prosperity. Therefore, the auspicious yogas and muhurtas (auspicious timings) occurring on Paush Amavasya (Paush Amavasya 2025) become even more significant.

Paush Amavasya 2025 Date
According to the Hindu calendar, Paush Amavasya in 2025 will be observed on Friday, December 19th. The Amavasya tithi (lunar day) will begin at 4:59 AM on December 19th and end at 7:12 AM on December 20th. According to the Udaya Tithi rule, all religious activities, including ancestral offerings, bathing, and charity associated with Amavasya, will be performed on December 19th.

Auspicious Conjunctions on Paush Amavasya
Several auspicious conjunctions are forming on the day of Paush Amavasya, which are considered highly fruitful from a religious perspective. The Amavasya tithi is considered especially auspicious for ancestral rites. According to religious beliefs, the alignment of the Sun and Moon in the same zodiac sign is the main astrological basis of Amavasya, which is considered favorable for ancestral offerings and self-purification. This conjunction is considered auspicious for performing ancestral rites, Shradh (rituals for the deceased), and self-purification.

It is believed that ancestors are pleased with the ancestral rites performed on this day and bestow blessings upon their descendants. Furthermore, Paush Amavasya falling on a Friday creates an auspicious conjunction associated with the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. According to beliefs, charity and virtuous deeds performed with devotion on Friday pave the way for financial stability, happiness, and prosperity.
