Ashadha Bhaumvati Amavasya 2026 Observed on July 14 with Ancestral Rituals
Ashadha Amavasya in 2026 falls on Tuesday, July 14, with the Amavasya tithi starting on the evening of July 13 and ending on July 14 afternoon. This new moon day, also known as Bhaumvati Amavasya due to its coincidence with Tuesday (associated with Mars), is significant for performing ancestral rites like Pitru Tarpan, ritual bathing, charity, and worship of deities including Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Hanuman, and Mangal Dev. The timing creates some confusion about fasting and observance dates, but rituals are primarily conducted on July 14.
