Mauni Amavasya 2026, observed on January 18, is a significant Hindu spiritual day dedicated to silence, purification, and honoring ancestors through rituals like pind daan and tarpan. Devotees perform holy baths in sacred rivers such as the Ganga, especially at Triveni Sangam, and engage in charity. While it is auspicious for spiritual practices, the day is considered inauspicious for ceremonies like marriages and housewarmings.
