Mauni Amavasya 2025: Amavasya, the new moon day, occurs 12 times a year and is considered highly significant for the peace of ancestors. While all Amavasyas hold importance, the one falling in the Hindu month of Magha, known as Mauni Amavasya, is regarded as particularly auspicious.
It is believed that observing silence (mauna), taking a holy dip, and donating on this day can absolve sins from several lifetimes. The year 2025 brings an exceptional conjunction as Mauni Amavasya coincides with a Mahakumbh royal bath. Let’s find out when Mauni Amavasya will be observed next year.
When Is Mauni Amavasya in 2025?
According to religious beliefs, performing donations and ancestor worship (Pitru Poojan) on Mauni Amavasya ensures a life free from hardships, bringing prosperity and blessings from forefathers.
In 2025, Mauni Amavasya will be observed on January 29. On this day, the third royal bath (Shahi Snan) of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj will also take place. This rare conjunction of Mauni Amavasya with the Mahakumbh royal bath is considered highly fruitful.
The Double Benefits Of Bathing On Mauni Amavasya:
Taking a holy dip in sacred rivers during the Magha month is deemed virtuous, but the spiritual merit multiplies manifold on Mauni Amavasya. Observing complete silence on this day is said to bring remarkable health benefits and profound knowledge.
Those suffering from mental health issues, fear, or anxiety are particularly encouraged to take a holy dip on this day as it is believed to provide relief from such problems.

- Bathing in holy rivers and feeding the underprivileged are considered extremely rewarding on this day. It helps expiate sins committed knowingly or unknowingly.
- Maintaining silence throughout the day is believed to enhance health and wisdom.
- The sacred bath on Mauni Amavasya aids in alleviating mental disorders, fear, and delusions.
