Paush Amavasya 2025: Auspicious Date for Ancestral Homage and Prosperity

New Delhi: Devotees are preparing to observe Paush Amavasya, a significant day dedicated to honoring ancestors in Hinduism, on December 19, 2025, a Friday. According to astrological sources, this particular Amavasya holds special importance due to the auspicious alignments occurring that day.

Paush Amavasya is traditionally observed by performing rituals such as bathing, giving alms, offering Tarpan (water libations), and chanting prayers, all dedicated to pleasing departed ancestors. It is believed that on this day, ancestors descend to Earth to bless their descendants with prosperity and happiness based on their good deeds.

According to the Panchang, the Amavasya Tithi (lunar phase) begins at 4:59 AM on December 19th and concludes at 7:12 AM on December 20th. However, as per the Udaya Tithi tradition, all religious observances, including ancestral rites, bathing, and charitable activities, will be performed on December 19th.

Adding to the auspiciousness, several favorable Muhurats (auspicious timings) fall on this day:

  • Brahma Muhurat: 5:19 AM to 6:14 AM
  • Amrit Kaal: 9:43 AM to 11:01 AM
  • Abhijit Muhurat: 11:58 AM to 12:39 PM

It is advised to avoid auspicious activities during Rahu Kaal, which falls from 11:01 AM to 12:18 PM.

Astrologers highlight that the alignment of the Sun and Moon in the same zodiac sign on Amavasya is particularly conducive for ancestral rites and self-purification. Furthermore, Paush Amavasya falling on a Friday is considered especially favorable, as it is associated with the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, promising financial stability, happiness, and prosperity.

Devotees are encouraged to perform charitable deeds with faith and reverence on this day to pave the way for economic well-being.
