Thousands Observe Thai Ammavasai with Ancestral Rituals Across Tamil Nadu

Thousands of devotees in Tamil Nadu observed Thai Ammavasai, a significant day for ancestral rituals, by performing prayers and offerings along riverbanks and seashores. In southern districts like Kanniyakumari, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, and Rameswaram, people took holy dips and conducted rites such as Pitru Tharpanam and Tarpan to honor their ancestors. The day, marking the no-moon phase in the Tamil month of Thai, holds cultural importance for seeking peace and blessings for departed souls.
