#AMAAVAASYA - The #PITHRU Thithi (Titbits) -🧵

As per Lunar calendar there R 16 thithis (Lunar days) out of which 14 gets repeated twice in a cycle of 30 days starting from Prathipada ending with Chaturdasi. Other 2 thithis that occur once in a month R Pournami & AmaAvaasya. +
A lunar month ending with Poornima is called #PoornimaAnta & the one ending with Amavasya is called #AmaAnta.

Chaturdasi overlapping with AmaAvaasya is called #Sinivaali & Amavasya overlapping with Prathipada is called as #Kuhu. Both are astrologically considered as malefic. ++
AmaAvaasya is also known as #Darsha thithi. Darsha (Darshana) means the day AmaAvaasya is visible. On this day of Darsha when Amaavaasya thithi is prevailing around afternoon time (#Aparaannah vyaapini) Thila tharapana is given to forefathers. ++

Today #Shani #Amaavaasya - Solar Eclipse (not visible in India) - Therefore Eclipse related austerities should not be undertaken.
Amaavaasya is Pithru thithi, Pithru DEvatas are abhimaani DEvatas for Amaavaasya. Performing Pithru (Thila) tharpana by those who are eligible is meritorious.
Pithrus will get immensely pleased from Paaraayana of Pavamana Sukta or Pithru sookta on the day of Pithru thithi ie. Amaavaasya.
