Mauni Amavasya 2024: Amavasya date has great importance in Hindu religious culture. According to the scriptures, Maghi Amavasya is also called Mauni Amavasya. This year's Mauni Amavasya will be celebrated on 9 February. On Mauni Amavasya, people please their clan and ancestral deities. According to religious belief, on every Amavasya, the ancestors come to earth from heaven.
On the day of Mauni Amavasya, which will fall on 9 February this year, one tries to worship and keep the ancestors happy because it is said that on every Amavasya, the ancestors appear from heaven to earth in physical form and bless their descendants.
When the ancestors do not attain salvation or due to some reason they become disappointed with the deeds of their family, then the family is accused of Pitra Dosh. On the day of Mauni Amavasya, lamps are lit in the name of ancestors. Let us know when and where to light a lamp on the day of Mauni Amavasya and what is its significance.

Amavasya
2024:
Why
Do
We
Light
Lamps
For
Ancestors?
According
to
religious
beliefs,
on
the
day
of
Mauni
Amavasya,
the
ancestors
migrate
from
heaven
to
earth.
The
ancestral
deities
have
to
return
to
their
world
within
a
fixed
time
limit.
If
they
delay,
it
becomes
dark
due
to
sunset
and
the
return
path
becomes
difficult
for
them.
Therefore,
according
to
the
belief,
a
lamp
is
lit
in
their
name
so
that
the
ancestral
gods
go
safely
on
their
way
to
the
light.
With
this,
Pitra
Dev
returns
happy
and
blesses
him
with
well-being,
happiness,
and
prosperity.

Amavasya
2024:
When
And
Where
To
Light
Lamps?
According
to
astrology,
lighting
a
lamp
is
a
religious
activity.
Sunset
will
happen
by
6
pm
on
the
day
of
Mauni
Amavasya,
i.e.
on
9th
February.
Due
to
shorter
days
in
winter,
it
gets
dark
early,
hence
light
the
lamp
as
soon
as
it
is
evening.
On
the
day
of
Mauni
Amavasya,
light
a
Disha
lamp
for
your
ancestors
under
the
Peepal
tree
or
in
the
south
of
your
house.
Along
with
this,
definitely
light
some
lamps
in
front
of
Lord
Vishnu.

2024:
How
To
Light
A
Lamp
In
The
Name
Of
Ancestors
On
Mauni
Amavasya,
buy
beautiful
clay
lamps
from
the
potter
and
clean
them
by
immersing
them
in
pure
water.
In
the
evening,
put
a
cotton
flower
in
a
lamp
filled
with
mustard
oil
and
light
the
lamp
by
praising
Lord
Vishnu
and
remembering
your
ancestors.
And after circumambulating the Peepal tree, tell your Pitru Dev that "O Pitru Dev, the lamp has been lit to ensure your safe return to heaven, just as this lamp has illuminated the path to your heaven, in the same way, the path of our life has been lit." Bless even the darkness with light."
