Amavasya denotes the onset of the new Moon, which gradually goes on to evolve into the full Moon. The dark side of the Moon is considered the Pitru Loka (world dedicated to ancestors), and this portion gets exposed to the Sun on the New Moon Days. Performing the Tarpanam ritual on Amavasya day can help us obtain the blessings of the departed souls. It can also drive away curses and other evil effects, which bog us down. According to the Vishnu Dharma Shastra, it is auspicious to perform the ritual to three ancestral generations on this day. This symbolic act of feeding our ancestors on the New Moon Day appeases their appetite, while they, in turn, shower good health and happiness on us.
Unique Traits of Amavasya Tarpanam
According to legend, the mentally conceived daughter of Agnishvattas, one of the seven classes of the divine Pitrus, yearned for a mortal father. This weakened her Yogic powers and sent her hurtling down from Heaven. While descending, she passed the Pitru Loka (world dedicated to ancestors) and appealed to them to save her. The Pitrus advised her to be born to King Amavasya. In due course, she regained her powers and conducted a ceremony to the Pitrus to express her gratitude. Thus performing Amavasya Tarpanam ritual on the New Moon Day can feed the souls of your departed forefathers, who can, in turn, shower their blessings on you.
Paying obeisance to our ancestors on Amavasya day is said to be highly propitious and can bring about manifold benefits. We express our gratitude by performing the ceremony and seek the blessings of our ancestors for long lives, radiance, superior intellect, wealth, and success in endeavors. Conducting “Poorna Kriya,” which is generally associated with the birth of twins on Amavasyas, can bring peace and contentment in their lives.

Bestow good health and wealth
Ensure success in all endeavors
