Since the Amavasya Tithi is prevailing at sunrise on Monday, Monday, June 15 is celebrated as Somvati Amavasya.

• The Snan-Daan Muhurat (Holy Bath & Charity): Early morning from 04:03 AM to 04:43 AM is considered the peak window.

• Auspicious Yogas: This specific morning features powerful combinations like Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga and Amrutha Siddhi Yoga, making it an incredibly potent time for prayers, meditation, and charity.

Important Rituals for Somvati Amavasya

• Worship of Shiva-Parvati: Since it falls on a Monday, performing a ritual bath (Abhishek) for Lord Shiva with water and raw milk brings massive peace and cleanses deep-seated negative karma.

• Peepal Tree Circumambulation: Married women traditionally perform 108 rounds (Pradakshina) around a Peepal tree, tying a sacred thread around it to pray for their family’s longevity and prosperity.

• Annadanam (Charity): Donating simple, staple items like rice, wheat flour, lentils, or white items (like sugar and milk) to the needy on Monday morning brings immense spiritual merit.
