2022 Phalguna Amavasya Date and Time, 2022 Phalguna Amavasya Festival Schedule and Calendar
Phalguna Amavasya is the last Amavasya of the year and therefore Phalguna Amavasya is the last Amavasya of the year as per the Hindu Calendar. This is one reason why Phalguna Amavasya is considered the most important for performing the Shraadh or Tarpan (ancestral offerings) for the departed. Phalguna Amavasya falls in the month of April or March as per the Gregorian calendar. As per the Hindu calendar, when the no moon day or the Amavasya is observed in the specific month of Phalguna, then that particular Amavasya is called Phalguna Amavasya. On this day, people take a holy bath before sunrise and then perform all the morning rituals.
