Mauni Amavasya Tithi is falling on January 21 this year. The day is considered one of the most auspicious ones in Hinduism.
Mauni Amavasya falls in the middle of the month of Magha and is also known as Maghi Amavasya.
On this day, people take a dip in the holy Ganga River to fulfil their wishes. This year, Mauni and Shani Amavasya are falling together.
According to Drik Panchang, this year, the Amavasya tithi begins at 06:17 am on January 21 and ends at 02:22 am on January 22.
On the day of Mauni Amavasya, after bathing, people perform Tarpan, Pind Daan, Shradh Karma etc to please their ancestors.
Apart from this, keeping a Maun Vrat on Mauni Amavasya, means one day fasting by not saying a word throughout the day.
By doing this, one will start their journey towards introspection and try to connect with God.
