Even though every month’s Amavasya is considered important, its significance multiplies during Bhadrapada Amavasya.
On this day, devotees collect Kusha (holy grass) which is later used in religious rituals and Shraddha Karma throughout the year. That is why it is also known as Kushotpatini Amavasya or Kushagrahani Amavasya.

Importance of Bhadrapada Amavasya
Bhadrapada Amavasya is especially revered because of the ritual of collecting Kusha. Using Kusha collected on this day in pujas and ceremonies is believed to bring blessings throughout the year. If this Amavasya falls on a Monday, the collected Kusha is said to remain effective for 12 years.
This day is considered highly auspicious for ancestral rituals (tarpan), holy baths, charity, and worship, making it one of the most spiritually powerful Amavasyas of the year.
