**MUMBAI, INDIA (November 30, 2024)** – Hindus across India observed Margashirsha Amavasya today, a significant religious day falling on the new moon of the Margashirsha month. The auspicious day, which began at 10:29 AM and concluded at 11:50 AM on December 1st, is associated with the worship of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Ganga. Devotees performed rituals including *snan* (bathing) and *daan* (charity) to seek blessings from ancestors and invoke prosperity.

This year’s Margashirsha Amavasya also coincided with a Saturday, making it Shani Amavasya, a day dedicated to Lord Shani. Many believe that observing rituals on this day can mitigate the negative effects of planetary afflictions like Kalsarp Dosh and Shani Dosh. The day holds particular importance for spiritual practices and is considered a potent time for seeking divine intervention and resolving personal difficulties.
