Amavasya is considered to have special significance in Sanatan Dharma. This year’s last Amavasya falls on December 12. Amavasya is falling on a Tuesday this year. It is also known as Bhaumvati Amavasya for this reason. Bhum is another name for Mars. It is said that experiencing certain traditions on Amavasya not only improves happiness and peace within the home but also offers calmness to the ancestors’ souls. Religious scholars say that on this day, people should give as much as they can to the people in need. One achieves prosperity, wealth, and good health by doing this. On this day, puja should be done in addition to taking a bath and waking up in the morning. This offers comfort for the mind.

The religious significance of Bhaumvati Amavasya is mentioned in several Hindu scriptures and Puranas. The day of Bhaumvati Amavasya is very rewarding for worshipping Planet Mars as it is believed that when New Moon falls on a Tuesday, it happens to be more auspicious on different chapters of life based on penance and devotion.

Any form of charity done on this day proves very fruitful and also helps in attainment of liberation or ‘moksha’. A person performing charity on Bhaumvati Amavasya is generously blessed by Lord Mars to live a blissful life. This day is particularly meritorious for those individuals who suffer from the malefic effects of Mangal Dosh.

Also Planets Mars is also referred as ‘Rina Harta’ implying the ‘remover of debts’. Therefore the day of Bhaumvati Amavasya is very beneficial for those who want to get rid of financial problems.

Besides Bhaumvati Amavasya is also a chosen day for pleasing and worshipping forefathers or ‘pitrs’. It turns out to be an opportunity for those individuals who could not worship their forefathers during the ‘Chatur Maas’ period.

When Bhaumvati Amavasya falls during the ‘Adhik’ Maas it becomes even more auspicious. It is aptly stated that Bhaumvati Amavasya is a unique occurrence that happens rarely in a year, and therefore one must make as much benefits of this day as possible.
