Today marks one of the most spiritually profound dates in the Hindu calendar: Somvati Amavasya. When an Amavasya<\/em> (new moon day) falls on a Somvar<\/em> (Monday), it creates a highly auspicious astrological alignment that occurs only one to three times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Monday is dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Moon, this specific Amavasya holds exceptional power for spiritual cleansing, ancestral worship, and prayers for marital bliss. Here is a complete guide to understanding today’s observances, along with curated wishes, quotes, and social media captions to share with your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026 Tithi Details and Timings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the Amavasya Tithi technically began yesterday, June 14, at 12:20 PM, Hindu traditions dictate that festivals are celebrated based on the Udaya Tithi<\/em>\u2014the phase of the moon present during sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the new moon phase was active during the sunrise this morning, Monday, June 15, 2026<\/strong>, is universally celebrated as Somvati Amavasya across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Rituals and Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Millions of devotees participate in strict rituals today from dawn until dusk. The primary observances include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The Holy Snan (Bathing):<\/strong> Devotees gather at sacred rivers\u2014particularly the Ganges in Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Varanasi\u2014before sunrise. Taking a holy dip on this day is believed to wash away past sins and purify the soul.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Peepal Tree Parikrama:<\/strong> This is the most defining ritual for married women. According to scriptures, the Hindu trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) resides in the Peepal tree. Women tie a sacred thread (Mouli or raw cotton) around the trunk, performing 108 circumambulations (Parikrama<\/em>) while praying for the long life, health, and prosperity of their husbands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tarpan and Shraddha (Ancestor Worship):<\/strong> Amavasya is the dedicated day of the Pitrus<\/em> (ancestors). Performing Tarpan (offering water mixed with black sesame seeds) and donating food to the poor on Somvati Amavasya is said to bring peace to departed souls and clear Pitra Dosh<\/em> (ancestral karmic debts).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Worship of Lord Shiva:<\/strong> Devotees observe strict fasts (Vrat) and perform Rudrabhishek at Shiva temples to seek mental peace, as the moon (which rules the mind) is worn by Lord Shiva on his head.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
