Among all sacred days in Hindu Sanatan Dharma, Amavasya (New Moon Day) holds the highest importance for Pitru Shanti, Shraddh, Pind Daan, Tripindi Shraddh, Narayan Bali and ancestral dosh remedies. The first Amavasya of the year – January Amavasya 2026 is considered extraordinary, because it opens the karmic door of the entire year. “The karma of the whole year is decided on the first Amavasya.”
