Amavasya is the day of the ancestors each month. Many families feed cows, crows and fish on every new moon — we make those offerings in India in your family's names.

Also known as: Amavasai, Mahalaya Amavasai, Aadi Amavasai, Thai Amavasai, Sarva Pitru Amavasya

What is included

Gau Seva, Kaka Bali or Matsya Daan — $10 each
Sankalpa with your ancestors' names
Performed at dawn in India on the Amavasya
Photographs and video

When families offer it

Every Amavasya
Mahalaya Amavasya (10 Oct 2026) — the most important of the year
Aadi Amavasai and Thai Amavasai for Tamil families

Why Amavasya?

The new moon is traditionally set aside for the Pitrs. Tarpanam and feeding other beings on Amavasya are among the most widely kept customs for the ancestors across India. In Tamil homes, Aadi, Thai and Mahalaya Amavasai are especially important.
