What To Avoid On Amavasya Tithi?

What To Do On Amavasya Tithi?

• It is traditional to wake up before sunrise and bathe at a holy place or river. If this is not possible, adding a few drops of Ganga water to your bath at home brings the same merit.
• Observe a fast or vow, perform prayers, and make donations according to your beliefs.
• Clean your entire house, and then sprinkle Ganga water or cow urine for purification.
• Early in the morning, offer water to the Peepal tree, and perform 108 circumambulations around it. This is believed to remove poverty.
