Thai Amavasya 2023
Thai Amavasya is the first Amavasya which 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 particular occasion for performing ceremonies to propitiate the departed souls and receive their blessings.
