Mahalaya Amavasya 2010 – Pitru Amavasya in 2010

Mahalaya Amavasya or Pitru Amavasya is observed on No Moon day during Mahalaya paksha shraddh. In 2010, the date of Mahalaya Amavasya is October 7, 2010. Pitru Amavasya falls during Ashwin month as per North Indian calendar followed in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttaranchal. Mahalaya Amavas is the last day of Pitru Paksha, the fortnight dedicated to offer Shraddh rituals to dead ancestors.

On Mahalaya Amavasya, Brahmin santarpana is performed on behalf of dead ancestors to provide them peace in their world. Hindus believe that Shraddh ritual performed on this Amavasya makes their dead ancestors free from all the sins they have committed when they were alive and provides them salvation. In some places to observe Kalasha Sthapana Puja for Durga Navaratri vrata, Brahmin santarpana is done on Mahalaya Amavasya. On the next day after this Amavasya, Durga Navaratri puja is started.
