According to Sanatan Dharma and Indian Vedic Almanac, today i.e. 15 June 2026, Monday, is going to prove to be very miraculous and very auspicious from spiritual and astrological point of view. Today, the holy festival of Somvati Amavasya is being celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the country. This time’s Amavasya is not an ordinary date, rather it has brought with it three big and rare astronomical and religious coincidences. On this day, the holy Adhik Maas (Malamas or Purushottam Maas) which comes once in three years, is coming to an end and with this, the king of the planets, Sun God, is also going to move out of Taurus and enter Gemini (Mithun Sankranti). Prominent scholars of astrology believe that such a triangular great coincidence of planets and dates has been seen after a long wait of many decades, due to which the results of every religious work done on this day will increase several thousand times.

Complete mathematics of Udaya Tithi of Amavasya, know from when till when will this holy date last.
According to astrological calculations and Panchang, this time Amavasya Tithi had started yesterday i.e. 14th June at 12.20 pm, which will remain valid till 8.24 am today i.e. 15th June. According to the scriptures and Sanatan tradition, the date on which the sun rises, i.e. Udaya Tithi, is considered the best and valid for fasting, bathing and rituals for the whole day. Since Amavasya Tithi is present at the time of sunrise on the morning of 15th June, hence due to Udaya Tithi today on Monday, the great festival of Somvati Amavasya is being celebrated with full faith at major Shiva temples and on the banks of holy rivers across the country.
Somvati Amavasya brings immense blessings of Lord Shiva and Moon God, it is a symbol of new hopes.
Whenever Amavasya falls on a Monday, it is addressed as ‘Somavati Amavasya’ in the scriptures. In Hindu religion, Monday is considered dedicated to Mahadev, the god of gods and Chandradev, the factor of mind. This is the reason why the importance of joint worship of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati increases immensely on this day. On this day, devotees in every corner of the country are observing fast and performing Jalabhishek and Rudrabhishek of Mahadev. Spiritually, this date is associated with new beginnings in life, positive energy and spiritual purification. Just as the moon reappears with its new phases right after the dense darkness of Amavasya, similarly this auspicious day removes despair in human life and brings new hopes and golden opportunities.
The best day for the peace of ancestors’ souls, please satisfy the ancestral gods in this way
In Sanatan beliefs, the date of Amavasya is completely reserved for performing Shraddha, Tarpan and remembering the ancestors. On this day, people are offering sesame seeds and water to the holy rivers for the salvation and peace of the souls of their departed ancestors. It is believed that by the devotional offerings made on this day, the ancestors become completely satisfied and bestow unwavering blessings of happiness, prosperity, longevity and progeny growth on their children, due to which the Pitra Dosha running in the family gets calmed forever. However, astrologers also say that real ancestral respect is not limited to just rituals, but respecting the living elders and parents of the house, keeping them happy and carrying forward good values by unifying the family is the true tribute to the ancestors.
Great festival of great charity and selfless service, helping a needy person will give you immense virtue.
There is a very rich and ancient tradition of doing charity on this great time of Somvati Amavasya and the end of Adhik month. Since this morning, lakhs of devotees are donating food, clothes, sesame seeds, jaggery and pure cow’s ghee as per their capacity in all the major pilgrimage sites of the country like Kurukshetra, Haridwar, Varanasi and Prayagraj. According to the scriptures, on this day, feeding a hungry person with respect, giving cool water to a thirsty person in the scorching heat or helping a very poor and helpless person financially on this day is considered to be the greatest and true virtuous act. Selfless service done on this day reaches directly to God and destroys the accumulated sins of man.
