Somvati Amavasya 2026 Date: June 15

This occasion holds significant religious importance as it falls on a Monday, a day dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, perform rituals for ancestors such as Tarpan and Shraddha, and engage in charitable activities. The Brahma Muhurta, from 4:03 am to 4:43 am on June 15, is considered auspicious for bathing and donations. Special yogas, Sarvarth Siddhi Yoga and Amrit Siddhi Yoga, will also be formed during an auspicious period from 5:23 pm to 7:08 pm.

Married women often observe a fast for the long life and well-being of their husbands. It is believed that bathing in holy rivers and making donations, such as rice, pulses, and milk, can help devotees attain freedom from sins and bring positive energy. Devotees are advised to avoid meat, alcohol, and tamasic food, and to maintain a calm and positive state of mind.
