Ashadha Amavasya 2026: Today is Amavasya of Ashadh month. This date has special significance in Sanatan Dharma. Amavasya of Ashadh month is also called Ashadhi Amavasya. Since today is Tuesday and the Amavasya falling on this day is called Bhaumvati Amavasya, hence today’s Amavasya is also Bhaumvati Amavasya. This date has been dedicated to the ancestors. It is believed that on this day, bathing in holy rivers, charity and offering tarpan or pinddaan for the ancestors provides relief from troubles and the Pitra Dosha is appeased.
Today on Amavasya, bathing and donation has started in Brahma Muhurta itself. Today, the auspicious time of bathing and donating in Brahma Muhurta started at 04.11 am and continued till 04.52 am. However, even now, bathing and donation of Ashadh Amavasya can be done at other auspicious times, so let us know other auspicious times of bathing and donating and the method of offering tarpan to the ancestors.
Ashadh Amavasya 2026 and other auspicious times for bathing and donation
Amrit-Sarvattam Muhurat has started from 05.32 am today. This auspicious time will last till 08:45 in the morning. If you are not able to take bath and donate on Amavasya in Brahma Muhurta, then you can do it in Amrit-Sarvattam Muhurta. This auspicious time is also auspicious for offering offerings to ancestors. Apart from this, Kutup Kaal will last from 11:40 am to 12:35 pm today. Kutup Kaal is considered to be the best and sacred time of the day to perform Tarpan and Pind Daan.
Method of worshiping ancestors and offering tarpan
On the day of Ashadh Amavasya, wake up early in the morning and take bath in the holy river or by mixing Ganga water in the water at home. After this, put water, red sandalwood and red flowers in a copper pot and offer it to the Sun God. During this time keep chanting the mantra Om Suryay Namah. Then, at an auspicious time, take clean water in a copper or bronze vessel. Add some raw milk, barley, sesame and kusha in water. After this, stand facing south and offer water to your ancestors by pouring water from your thumb to Anjali (hands).
Prepare food for the peace of the ancestors’ souls. Take out portions of the food for the cow, dog, crow, deer and ants. By doing this the ancestors become very happy. After Tarpan, offer food to any worthy Brahmin with respect and then donate sesame seeds, food grains, clothes or a vessel filled with water to them as per your capacity.
