INDIA, February 27, 2026 (Times of India): Phalguna Amavasya in 2026 fell on February 17, with the new moon tithi beginning the previous evening and ending late afternoon on the 17th. In Hindu tradition, Amavasya each month is regarded as especially suitable for honoring one’s ancestors, and this observance in the Phalguna month carries particular devotional importance. Many devotees mark the day through prayer, quiet reflection and acts intended to bring blessings and peace to departed family members.

Common observances include tarpana or pind daan for the Pitrs, ritual bathing, temple worship and charitable giving. Such practices are traditionally understood to purify the mind and generate punya (merit) while expressing gratitude to previous generations. The day is also viewed as an auspicious time for spiritual discipline and inward focus as the lunar cycle turns toward renewal.
