In Sanatan Dharma, Paush Amavasya (December 19, 2025) is particularly significant. Bathing, giving alms, and praying to ancestors are all very auspicious on this day. Additionally, it is the year's final new moon day. It is customary to give prayers to the Sun God and take a bath in a sacred river, pond, or well on this day.
If a river bath is not possible, one should bathe at home by adding Ganga water to the bathwater. Let us tell you the significance and remedies of Paush Amavasya.
Importance Of Paush Amavasya
The month of Paush is considered highly virtuous and fruitful. According to religious beliefs, fasting on this day satisfies not only the ancestors but also Brahma, Indra, Surya, Agni, Vayu, sages, animals, birds, and ghosts, bestowing their blessings. For those with childless horoscopes, fasting on Paush Amavasya and offering prayers to their ancestors on this day is highly fruitful.

Doing so will not only relieve Pitru Dosha but also Shani Dosha. Worshipping the Peepal tree on this day is also considered auspicious.
