In the Hindu religion Somvati Amavas, or Amavasya, means 'dark moon' and refers to the new moon phase in Sanskrit.
Somvaty Amavasya falls on a Monday. The faithful believe fasting on this Amavasya wards off widowhood in women and ensures children in marriage. Washing in a holy river protects from illness, and daily activities are conducted in silence. Donations given to poor children are believed to be highly effective on Somvaty Amavasya.

Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
